There is a recipe I found once on DINNER: A LOVE STORY that I don't see on her list but has become one of my "I don't know what to do" go-to's. My serves-one version calls for: a sausage, a smallish apple, a smallish onion, and a smallish potato.

Preheat the oven to 425. Chop the unpeeled potato into chunks and dump them into a baking dish. Peel the onion and hack into some chunks too. Dump those into the dish and toss with a drizzle of olive oil. Sling that in the oven for about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, chop the apple into chunks as well. If you have one of those smoked sausages, chunk that up too- if you have a raw sausage leave it whole.

When the potato and onion are done, take the dish put, turn the oven down to 400 and chuck in the apple chunks and throw the sausage on top. Fling thr dish back in the oven for another 30 minutes.

She recommends adding a splash of cider vinegar for the last 5 minutes; sometimes indo and sometimes I don't, I never notice a difference. She also recommends serving with mustard and that I DO recommend.

I can't think of 'the family dinner' without thinking of this.
