instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

    3

    Once hot, add the sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.

    4

    Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

    5

    Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds (approximately 1/4-inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly.

    6

    Layer half of the sliced potatoes in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

    7

    Add the cooked sausage on top, followed by the sautéed onions and garlic.

    8

    Layer the remaining potatoes on top, seasoning again with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

    9

    Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth to cover the dish evenly.

    10

    Sprinkle 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese over the top for a crispy finish.

    11

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

    12

    After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

    13

    Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
