Haven't posted food on here in a while.... if you've never had smothered potatoes, I recommend that you try them. These are not mashed potatoes or potato soup, but just as easy to make. Takes a little longer but man...are they good. You can use bacon, tasso, or smoked sausage for your meat but I prefer a good smoked sausage. It's a meal in it's own but I prefer to serve as a side to a good steak, chicken fried backstrap, or fried fish & shrimp with some good pintos.


I'm making a small batch, so in a 4qt Dutch Oven I slice & brown a ring of smoked deer sausage. Brown that sausage.



When browned good remove the sausage, and drop in 1 chopped yellow onion and a half stick of unsalted butter.




When the onions get some good color on them, drop in 6 or so cloves of fresh minced garlic for a minute.




Then return the browned sausage to the pot & stir.

I'm using half of a 5lb sack of Golden Potatoes, peeled and cubed a little large. Drop them in and add enough chicken broth to almost cover the taters, but don't cover them. Cover with lid, turn heat down to a simmer and relax. Keep a little stir on them once in a while, don't let it burn. During the cook you are going to need some more broth, add just a little bit at a time as needed. The potatoes will start to break down forming a nice soup mixture (not potato soup though), but since you cut your potatoes a little large in the end you will have a kinda thick potato soup mixture that still has plenty of nice chunks of potatoes that will end up being thicker and better than soup. In progress.....

I make a similar potato dish. Makes several complete meals for me.



Bell peppers fit right in.

Bell peppers do fit right in especially the red ones, but I like them sliced fresh on the side right up against the potatoes.

Smothered potatoes are coming along..smothered in goodness.

Food porn....call me a slut....

I made these potatoes on Monday with bacon and smoked some fork tender pork steaks. Smoked pork steaks, smothered potatoes & sauerkraut...hmn….
