Cooking Instructions

• Slice the potatoes ¼-inch thick and the onions just a little thicker. Optionally soak the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes to remove some starch and help them crisp up.
• Drizzle the bottom of the cast-iron skillet with cooking oil and preheat until hot. Add the ground Italian sausage and onions over medium heat and cook until browned. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel.
• Add more oil until the entire bottom of the cast-iron pan is coated. Once hot, add the sliced potatoes in a single layer. Salt and pepper liberally. Increase the heat to medium-high.
• Allow the potatoes to brown for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side before moving them. Turn and brown the other side. Once browned, add the minced garlic. Cook just a minute or two until fragrant.
• Remove the potatoes and drain if there is a lot of oil remaining in the bottom of the pan. If not, add the sausage and onions back into the potato mixture.
• Add the dried or fresh herbs and heat just until the ingredients are hot.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and top with a poached egg if desired.
