Grilled Sausage Chips

April 19, 2013
by Curt

Grilled Sausage Chips-postI came across this idea on a website called My Recipe Journey. Lillian got the recipe from the Johnsonville Sausage company’s Pinterest board, and added a great cheese dip to go along with it.

I decided to throw my own spin on it, which…….yep, you guessed it, I grilled them. You want to use a grill screen though, (as shown below),  so those little suckers don’t fall into the fire! I wanted them crispy, but not that crispy!

My wife made up a nice dip for the chips, and I ate on those tasty little gems until they were all gone. Of course, mine were kinda on the small side since I used my favorite sausage that I had shipped from Texas. But you can certainly use any sausage you like.

By the way, this is in no way a paid promotion for Meyers Elgin sausage. I just happen to love that stuff!

So here ya go, try some for yourself. They would make an awesome addition to any party snack tray.

Grilled Sausage Chips

Ingredients

  • (As many as you like) links of Meyers Elgin Garlic Sausage

Preparation

  1. Slice the sausage into very thin slices and set aside.
  2. Get a medium hot grill going and place the slices on a grill screen as shown below, and place them on the grill directly over the fire.
  3. Have a second screen available for easy flipping. (Note: When the chips were done on the first side, I placed an empty screen tightly on top of the screen with the chips and flipped it over to cook the other side!)
  4. Warning, these will obviously cook very quickly! ENJOY!

A Healthier Seasoned Fried Potatoes

A Healthier Seasoned Fried Potatoes-postThis is a great way to use up left over baked potatoes. Not only that, but it’s a much healthier way to prepare fried potatoes. No deep fat frying, or frying in tons of butter and / or oil.

A little bit of spray cooking oil is all you need. And boy oh boy are these ever tasty! One of my favorite sides for dinner.

A Healthier Seasoned Fried Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sized potatoes
  • chives (to taste)
  • basil (to taste)
  • oregano (to taste)
  • Seasoned Salt (to taste)

Preparation

  1. In a 350° F oven, bake the 4 potatoes until soft. About 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and let completely cool.
  2. Cut the potato into small pieces. Spray a frying pan with cooking spray and place the potatoes into the pan over medium heat.
  3. This recipe doesn't call for exact portions on the spices, so just sprinkle the potatoes to your liking with the chives, basil, oregano and seasoned salt.
  4. Cook over medium heat, turning frequently until the outside of the potatoes are crispy.
