Ingredients

  • 8oz. andouille sausage
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large yam, peeled and diced large
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 green onions, sliced on a bias

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, peel the yams and cut into large dice. Place yams in water and let simmer until fork tender. You want them to hold their shape and not fall apart. This should only take about 5 to 6 minutes when boiling. Strain out and place to the side.
  2. Heat butter in a large sauté pan and add the onions. Cook until slightly caramelized and then add the chopped garlic. Sauté for 2 more minutes.
  3. Add the yams and mix them into the onions. Spread out the mixture so the yams are touching the bottom of the pan. This is why you want a large sauté pan. You will only get caramelization if they are touching the bottom of the pan. If you have too much I suggest cooking them in batches for best results. If the pan is very dry add some extra butter.
  4. When you have a nice golden brown on the yam, fold in the sausage and continue to cook until crispy.
  5. Sprinkle with sliced Green onion and season with sea salt and pepper.
  6. At their time you could add a little heat with cayenne or hot sauce depending on what you prefer.
