Meanwhile, cook raw sausages in a skillet with a little bit of water, just enough to keep them from sticking. Once they are nearly cooked through, cut each sausage into 4-6 pieces and continue browning on open ends, adding a bit of olive oil.If using pre-cooked sausage, cut each one into 4-6 pieces and brown them in a skillet with a bit of olive oil. Turn sausages so the cut sides brown.
Combine all three components in a large bowl and serve with ketchup and mustard.
Sweet Potato Seasoning
Combine all six seasoning ingredients in a small bowl or reuse a spice jar.
You will notice they are equal parts. You may reduce the quantity to a teaspoon of each, or prepare a tablespoon of each so you have plenty on hand for future use.
