Loaded Potato and Cajun Sausage Skillet

This tasty skillet recipe is a spin off from my original version that used cajun chicken. This time I around I decided to make it with smoked turkey sausage since I had some in the house and wanted to make something different with it. This was even better than my original chicken skillet. A hit with the whole family!

 In a large skillet heat olive oil and add in the potatoes. Sprinkle with cajun seasoning. Cook about 8 minutes per side or until crisp.
