Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 1 hour

2. Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork. Place on baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until you can easily slide a knife through the potatoes.
3. When potatoes have about 20 minutes to go, place sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until no longer pink in the middle, breaking up into small pieces with a rubber spatula. Drain on paper towels.
4. Cook peppers in skillet with leftover sausage fat until tender, about 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return sausage to skillet and reheat.
5. Split potatoes open and serve each topped with sausage and peppers.Cook potato faster in microwave

In a hurry? Cook the potatoes in the microwave. Pierce with a fork as above, then put in microwave on a paper towel. Microwave on high for 15 minutes (only 8-10 if you are doing just 1 potato), or until you can easily slide a knife through the potato.
