This is one of my favorite cold weather comfort foods, one of my only breakfast-for-dinner type recipes. This recipe makes enough for two with probably some leftovers.
2 Tbs olive oil
One 16-oz bag frozen O'Brien potatoes
6 veggie sausage links, cut into 1/2-inch rounds (I'm sure this would work with real sausage)
1 tsp hot pepper sauce, plus more to taste
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
one 14-oz package firm tofu, drained
1 tsp creole or cajun seasoning
1/3 cup cream cheese (I just eyeball it)
2 green onions, white and green parts, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1. Heat your oil in a large skillet on medium-high or so. Cook the sausage until golden brown and set aside, then cook the potatoes 8 to 10 minutes until they're hot and starting to brown.
2. Combine the hot sauce, turmeric, and one Tbs water in a small bowl. Crumble the tofu over the potatoes and add the sausage back in, then pour your hot sauce mixture on top. Sprinkle the creole seasoning, stir, and cook about 3 minutes until it's heated through.
3. Season with salt and pepper and take it off the heat. Stir in some dollops of cream cheese and sprinkle the green onions on top.
