Cherry Bomb Potatoes with Sausage

Serves 2+

2 fist-sized red potatoes
2 cloves garlic
1 sweet onion
1 cherry bomb pepper (or other red pepper)
2 tablespoons butter, separated
1/4 pound spicy Italian sausage
salt and pepper
sour cream

Put a mid-sized sauce pan of salted water on to boil. Cut your potatoes into 1/2 inch wedges. Slice the garlic into thin slices, the onion into 1/2 inch 1/2 rounds, seed and core the the pepper and slice it too. Put a 10" skillet on to medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter in it. When the butter is melted and the water is boiling put the potatoes in the water and the garlic in the skillet. Return the potatoes to a boil and let them be until they're just starting to be tender, about 15 minutes. Let the garlic brown for just a minute before adding the onions, then saute for 10 minutes or so. When the onions are clear and limp add the sausage and let it brown.
When the potatoes are ready to come out of the water add the second tablespoon of butter to the onion pan. Drain the potatoes and add them to the skillet with the chopped pepper. Crisp up the edges of the potatoes and you're ready to serve. Spoon the mixture into a bowl and serve with a dollop of sour cream.
