- ½ tablespoon avocado oil or cooking oil of your choice
- 1½ lbs baby yellow potatoes cut into uniform pieces, see notes
- 14 oz smoked sausage cut into rounds about ⅓" - ½" thick
- 1 medium sweet onion cut into bite-sized chunks
- 8-10 oz fresh green beans washed and cut into halves or thirds depending on size
- all-purpose seasoning (or salt, pepper, and garlic powder) *Shake That All-Purpose Seasoning recommended
Heat griddle on low heat. Then add about ½ tablespoon of oil to the heated surface.
Add the cut potatoes to the oil and toss to evenly coat. Then group the potatoes in one area on the griddle, and place the melting dome on top. Allow the potatoes to cook untouched for about 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, layer on the chunks of onion right on top of the potatoes. Then place the sausage slices on top. Cover with the dome and continue to cook another 5-7 minutes.
Pile the green beans on top of the mound of sausage, potatoes, and onions. Continue to cook everything together under the dome until all ingredients are mostly cooked through, about another 5-7 minutes. *The total cooking time under the dome is about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes, what griddle you have, etc.
When the potatoes, sausage, and vegetables are about 80-85% cooked through, remove the dome and sprinkle on all-purpose seasoning or salt and pepper. Then spread the sausage potato stir fry out into an even layer on the griddle, and cook untouched for another 4-5 minutes to develop a slight char.
Briefly sauté everything together for about 1-2 minutes. Then transfer to a plate and serve.
- For the melting dome - This is my favorite melting dome. If you don't have a dome, you can use a large aluminum foil pan turned upside down, or even a large pot lid that fits over your food. The goal is just to trap the steam.
- Cutting the potatoes -For the baby yellow potatoes, some will need to be cut in half and larger potatoes will need to be cut in quarters or sixths. The goal is to get all your potato pieces roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
- Customize with your choice of vegetables – Feel free to add in your favorite veggies. Broccoli florets, zucchini chunks, or bell peppers would all be good in this recipe. Add them to the griddle based on how long they take to cook. For instance, broccoli takes longer to cook than zucchini, so you would want to add the broccoli first.
