Ingredients

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or herbs like thyme to the sausage mixture. If you're looking for a lighter option, try using ground turkey sausage instead of pork. For a crispier texture, you can chill the patties for 30 minutes before frying, which helps them hold their shape better. This recipe is versatile and can be adjusted to your preference, similar to how you might prepare Effie'S Cabbage And Sausage.

For a comforting dinner, consider serving them alongside mashed potatoes or a creamy sauce, reminiscent of dishes like Brown Sugar Sausage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze potato sausage patties?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties for up to 3 months. Just place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer to an airtight container. When ready to cook, there's no need to thaw; just cook them a few extra minutes in the skillet.
What can I use instead of ground sausage?
You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. Additionally, plant-based sausage or crumbled tempeh can work well for a vegetarian alternative. Just make sure to season accordingly to enhance the flavor.
How do I know when the patties are fully cooked?
The patties should be golden brown on the outside and have an internal temperature of 160°F for pork sausage. If you’re using turkey or chicken sausage, ensure they reach 165°F. Always cut one open to check for any pinkness to ensure they are fully cooked.
