Easy Fixin Supper
A hearty and satisfying supper featuring layers of potatoes and onions topped with sausage, perfect for a comforting family meal with bold, savory flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel and slice potatoes, then place a layer in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Add a layer of sliced onions on top of the potatoes.
- Repeat with 3 or 4 more layers of sliced potatoes.
- Place 5 or 6 pieces of sausage on top of the layered potatoes and onions.
- Cover the dish and bake in the oven until the potatoes are tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider seasoning the layers with herbs like thyme or rosemary. You can substitute regular sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option, or even use plant-based sausage for a vegetarian dish. If you're short on time, pre-cooked sausage can be used, simply add it later in the cooking process to avoid overcooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish warm, garnished with fresh parsley for color and flavor. It pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. For a heartier option, consider serving alongside garlic bread or a side of Baked Apples With Sausage Stuffing to complement the savory flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the desired portion in a microwave-safe dish and cover it with a damp paper towel to retain moisture. Heat until warmed through, or reheat in the oven at 350°F until the potatoes are hot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of potatoes?
Absolutely! While russet potatoes work well for their texture, feel free to use red or Yukon gold potatoes for a different flavor and creaminess. Just remember to adjust the cooking time if the sizes of the potato slices differ.
How do I know when the dish is done?
The dish is done when the potatoes are fork-tender and easily pierced. You can check this by inserting a fork into the layers; if it goes in smoothly, it's ready. If there's resistance, cover and bake a bit longer.
Can I add other vegetables to this recipe?
Yes, adding vegetables like bell peppers or carrots can enhance the dish. Just slice them thinly and layer them with the onions for even cooking. Keep in mind that you may need to adjust the baking time slightly depending on the added vegetables.
