How to Make Midwestern German Fries With Sausage Gravy

  1. Peel and thinly slice potatoes (or leave skins on).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, onions, and green peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and slightly browned (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Push potato mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour in beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until set.
  4. Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small chunks. Once cooked through, remove from heat.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and flour until smooth.
  6. Add the milk mixture to the cooked sausage. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens (about 2-3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into the sausage gravy for richness.
  8. Serve the sausage gravy generously over the German fries. Enjoy!
