Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, diced (about 1.5 pounds or 680 g)

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir everything together. Allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through and combine the flavors.
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
