One-skillet meals are all the rage these days. They're easy, and they leave less of a mess for someone to clean up after dinner. Many one-skillet recipes, including this one, are also quite quick to make. This Italian sausage and potato skillet recipe takes advantage of the one-skillet meal craze.
We use sweet Italian sausage in this recipe, so you won't have to worry about any spiciness! Frozen hash brown potatoes help keep this recipe easy, while the celery and spinach add extra nutrients to this dish. The use of cheese will help hide the presence of the veggies, helping parents with picky eaters.
Serve this skillet dinner with a salad on the side. To keep it easy, just make a typical side salad. Lettuce, tomatoes, croutons, some cheese, and a little onion. That's all you need to make a good salad. Toss with some dressing, and you're good to go! There's no reason to make the side complicated when the main course is easy.
