There is nothing quite like sausage and peppers. This is one of my favorite recipes. Sausage and peppers is easy to make and tastes even better the next day.

In a good sized bowl place an assortment of (some cut some whole) sweet, mild and hot Italian sausage. To the sausage add whole pablano, green and red peppers and quartered potatoes. Splash a fair amount of olive oil in the bowl and using your hands make sure everything is well coated.

Dust everything with ground plack pepper, granulated garlic, kosher salt, tarragon, fresh parsley and basil and again mix well making sure all is well seasoned.
