Notes

To make this vegan or vegetarian, use a plant based sausage with no red tier ingredients, such as Field Roast Italian Sausage.
Suggested uses for the leftover peppers:
fajitas
pairing platter
grazer's lunch
lunch kits
Hint: a french fry cutter makes cutting potatoes into uniform cubes very easy!  Cut into fries and then cut the fries into cubes.
