Notes

📝 Notes

  • Use smoked or Italian sausage for the best flavor.
  • Baby potatoes cook evenly and don’t need peeling.
  • Brown the sausage first to build depth.
  • Sub half-and-half for heavy cream if needed.
  • Add spinach or kale at the end for extra greens.
  • Adjust thickness with extra broth.
  • Season lightly at first; sausage adds salt.
  • Store leftovers airtight for up to 3 days.
