Our comfort food, part 2: Sausages and Potatoes

No, this isn't fancy home-made sausages. It also isn't roasted garlic and rosemary potato wedges, or Hasselback potatoes. It is breakfast sausages, with boiled potatoes that were going soft and needed to be eaten. And the third key ingredient - a can of creamed corn.  This is 8/10 on the low-brow scale (yes, there is plenty of room left on that scale - think Kraft Dinner with cut up hot dogs, for example). But it is also something we grew up with, and so have a fondness for. It is comfort food, and at the same time somewhat of a guilty pleasure. 
Sausages and Potatoes
Of course when we eat it, it sort of gets all mushed up together but that would make for a pretty gross photo. I would usually throw a rather large pat of butter on the potatoes along with generous salt and pepper. Start to finish in 20 minutes, and could do it while sleep walking. The potatoes can be peeled and cooked in about the same time the sausages take to cook.  Throw the plates on tv dinner trays and watch Jeopardy....Perfect.
