Sausage and Potato Hash Recipe

February 15, 2012

altIt's rare, but I sometimes luck out with a dinner dish that the whole family loves. I made this sausage and potato hash, and all the plates were clean within minutes and everyone said they loved it.

Steve and Rocky's Restaurant Review and Pics

The interior of Steve and Rocky's is quite colorful with vibrant reds, oranges, yellows, and blues. It seemed quite modern, and they claim to be remodeling soon, even though I did not see much of a need for it.
