Roasted Potatoes with Sausage

A meaty variation on a family favorite!

6-7 medium potatoes

1 medium onion

4-6 large cloves garlic or 1 T granulated garlic

a double handful of ground sausage

1 T chili powder

1 t cumin

1/2 t turmeric

2 generous pinches kosher salt

fresh ground black pepper

crushed red pizza pepper (optional)

3 T olive oil

Preheat oven to 450F. Dice the potatoes and onion to 1/2 inch; crush and mince the garlic; crumble the sausage. Combine in a cast-iron skillet. Add salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, and pizza pepper. Drizzle on the olive oil and mix by hand until everything is well-coated.

Bake 30 minutes, turn well with a nonstick spatula and bake another 30 minutes.

Serve with brown gravy if desired.

I added some leftover rice to the leftover salad and it made a very nice, mild counterpoint to the spicy potatoes.
