Monday Meals: Sausage, Fried Potatoes, & Green Beans

Ingredients:
*4 sausage links (I LOVE Aidells. SO many delicious flavors. See note below)

*2 Tablespoons oil (whatever works best for you)

*12 medium red potatoes (3 potatoes per person), quartered (or smaller)

*2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

*2 teaspoons garlic, minced

*1 teaspoon dried rosemary

*salt and pepper to taste

*1/2 lbs fresh green beans, ends snapped off

*4 Tablespoons butter

*dash of lemon juice

*salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Saute sausage in skillet. Place potatoes in microwave-safe bowl with a Tablespoon of water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for approximately 5 minutes (potatoes should be tender, not fully cooked). Put tender potatoes in skillet with vegetable oil. Add garlic and rosemary. Fry for approximately 2 minutes. Stir. Fry another 2 minutes. Stir once more. Fry for a final 2 minutes, until potatoes are soft and fully cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste. In large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Blanch green beans for 2-3 minutes, until crisp. Using clean skillet, brown butter. Once brown, add green beans and dash of lemon juice and saute for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
