Mr. R was in a decidedly cranky mood this week, so I decided to lighten his spirits with a lovely breakfast for dinner night - and an excellent one at that. No namby-pamby pancakes for us! Only sausage gravy and potatoes will do! Puts hair on your chest!
First, I baked off several red potatoes while I was baking zucchini bread. Meanwhile, I got the sausage going:
Here are the 90% cooked potatoes, all chopped up and ready for a skillet:
Once the sausage was just shy of being fully browned, I added in 1/4 flour (this was too much for a "small" batch of gravy, just fyi - will use a bit less next time):
And stirred and stirred until the flour was cooked, then added in a hefty splash of milk:
Then Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper:
And then the thickening occurred...
Meanwhile, I'd sauteed some onions in a bit of olive oil, and tossed the potatoes in to crisp up a bit:
Mr. R prepared some eggs for himself, and then fixed his plate of glory - potatoes, biscuits, sausage gravy, and eggs. It was a fab dinner.
