🥔 Baked Potato with Sausage and Onions
🧾 Ingredients (2–3 servings)
- 2–3 large baking potatoes
- 2–3 sausages (any kind you like: pork, chicken, or smoked)
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chives, or paprika
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Bake the Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 200 °C / 400 °F.
- Scrub potatoes clean, prick with a fork a few times.
- Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Place directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet.
- Bake 45–60 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork.
2️⃣ Cook the Sausage and Onions
- While potatoes bake, heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Slice sausages into bite-sized pieces.
- Add sausages to the skillet and cook until browned.
- Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and sauté 5–7 minutes until soft and caramelized.
3️⃣ Assemble
- Slice baked potatoes open lengthwise and fluff the inside with a fork.
- Top each potato with sausage and onion mixture.
- Optional: sprinkle with cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or fresh herbs.
⭐ Tips
- For extra flavor, brown the potatoes a bit in the skillet after baking before topping.
- Try spicy sausage or add paprika/cayenne to the onions for a kick.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan version where the potatoes, sausage, and onions roast together in the oven—less cleanup and super flavorful.
