Quick Sausage and German Potato Salad Skillet

This ready-to-serve salad makes a savory side dish to accompany all kinds of entrees, but it’s so much more versatile. Think of it as a base for a hearty soup, a casserole or a skillet meal like Quick Sausage and German Potato Salad Skillet.

Thinly sliced potatoes, deliciously seasoned with a vinegary-bacon dressing, make a perfect pairing with smoked sausage and a quick sauté of onion wedges and colorful bell peppers. Think of the prep time and number of ingredients saved by beginning with the potato salad. And by choosing pre-cooked sausages, which can be browned and heated in about five minutes, cooking time is greatly reduced.

German potato salad is one of the most beloved side dishes in Germany, with many regional variations. Unlike the creamy American version, the traditional German style often features a light dressing made with oil or mustard and sometimes vinegar, giving the salad a fresher and slightly tangy flavor.
