Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
  • ½-pound ground pork or turkey Italian sausage or 2-3 links pork or turkey Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Stir in the potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
