Fried Potatoes and stuff

The following recipe is one of those that are so easy and easily adjusted to fit your likings (and lets be honest whatever you have in the house).  We had this a few times at Steve and Jeni's house as well as during church camping with them.  It's nice because very little has to be refrigerated if you're camping and almost all the ingredients can be bought at farmer's markets during the summer.

At the bare minimum:
1-2 Onions
1 Potato per person
1 Sausage per person (we like Johnsonville or Elkhart)
Salt and pepper (or season salt) to taste

Other options:
Carrots
Zucchini
Summer Squash
Mushrooms
Corn

Slice up the vegis you have. 
Saute the onions in some olive oil and add the "hard" vegetables so they have time to cook.
Cook about 30 min on medium high heat stirring often.
Cut up the sausages and put a little bit of water in the bottom of a pan with them cook for a few minutes. Drain and add to the potatoes along with the softer vegetables (like corn and mushrooms).  Turn heat down.
Mix it all up and let the flavors get nice and combined. Cover and keep warm til you're ready to eat.

Note: some of my teens in Lake City enjoyed putting barbeque sauce on this dish.
