Easy One-Skillet Dinner Idea

This sausage  and potatoes skillet recipe is my take on the classic Italian sausage, onions and peppers. Traditionally you should let the onions and peppers cook until both are nearly translucent and then add the sausage. But there are tons of variations of Italian sausage and potato bake. But in this recipe we mix it up.
