Sausage & Kale with Garlic Roasted Potatoes

This skillet meal is made better by the addition of roasted potatoes and loads of kale!

About two years ago, I reviewed the 101 One-Dish Dinners cookbook. Out of the recipes that I made from the cookbook, this skillet dish was outright the favorite recipe for everyone in my family. I made it multiple times in a short period of time after first making it and then it became a regular meal in the meal plan rotation. It's on a one skillet meal or a recipe that can be made in under 30 minutes, but it is close enough to both of those things to make me a happy camper.

The potatoes are roasted in the oven while the other ingredients are prepped in a skillet. Once the potatoes are done, they are added in and there's not much else to do. I love how much kale is in this recipe and I also really love the addition of beans to it.
