Notes

  • Feel free to substitute the smoked sausage with cooked bacon, turkey sausage, or a vegetarian option.
  • For a spicier twist, add chopped jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes.
  • This dish reheats beautifully and can be made ahead for busy mornings or easy meal prep.
  • Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the best texture and binding.
