LACHO AND FRIED POTATOES 
POTATOES:

6 large Russett potatoes (or whatever brand you choose to use)

LACHO:

2 packs of Hillshire Farm Pork Smoked Sausage
3 red bell peppers
3 yellow bell peppers
3 orange bell peppers
3 green bell peppers
2 large white onion
6 large tomatoes

It is best to start the potatoes first, because they take a while to cook.

Slice potatoes into cubes, about 1/2-1-inch thick and season to taste. Heat 1 tablespoon of grease (or vegetable oil) in a large skillet on medium, and add potatoes. Fry potatoes on medium, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown or have reached desired doneness. Now, let's start the Lacho!

Slice smoked sausage about 1/2 inch thick and sauté in a LARGE skillet on medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

As sausage is cooking, slice ALL bell peppers into long 1/4-1/2 inch thick strips. Do the same with the 2 onions.

Once the smoked sausage has produced about 1-1 1/2 cups of juice, add all bell peppers and onions in with sausage and mix together. Let the smoked sausage, bell peppers and onions sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until peppers and onions have softened.

Slice ALL tomatoes and lay on top of sausage, pepper and onion mixture. Turn heat to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

You can eat Lacho and potatoes separately, or do as my husband does and mix them both together! ENJOY! :)

Lacho and Fried Potatoes

 Carolyn (United States) says:
I made this last night for the two of us, using 8oz beef sausage, 2 potatoes, 1 medium onion, 2 plum tomatoes and 2 sweet red peppers. It was great! The few changes I made (since I think this is a Hungarian recipe - do you know?) were: I added 2 cloves crushed garlic, a sprinkling of hot paprika and pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage and pepper mix, and I was in a hurry so I parboiled the potatoes until almost done before frying. I drain them and return them to the pan to dry them over heat for a minute or two before cutting up and frying. I used bacon fat for the frying which made a nice flavor addition. As you suggested, I served the sausage mix over the fried potatoes. A very tasty dish! We'll do this again. Thanks for this recipe. Carolyn
