Simple Yet Filling

I started out not sure what I wanted for dinner last night. Then with frozen water pipes and drain pipe I decided to go with something simple and filling. I have already thought of two changes I would make to it. Maybe three. However here's the recipe. What seasonings or spices or other ingredients would you have used?

 

Simple Yet Filling

1lb -sweet sausage ( I used Gianelli for this however any sausage would work)

3 -medium yellow potatoes (peeled and diced- I used a dicer for this that has two different dice blades one for large dice and one for mini diced. I opted for large)

1/4 bag- mini carrots diced

Sea Salt for the pan of water

garlic to preferred taste

salt to preferred taste

pepper to preferred taste

1 pan of water 

1 frying pan

1 Slotted spoon ( with the drain pipe frozen came in handy to strain carrots and potatoes to add to sausage mix.

 

Once veggies and potatoes are peeled and in the pot with salt water bring to a boil. I boiled for 7-8 minutes.

While veggies are parboiling fry down the sausage

When veggies and potatoes are done strain and add to pan with sausage. Add seasonings stir to coat. 

Cover stirred food in the pan and set on low for another ten minutes. Restir and serve.

 

Things I'd do differently next time. 
Add olive oil to frying pan. 

Strain meat leaving oil in the pan and add seasonings salt and pepper to it 

Add the parboiled veggies and stir to coat 

Add meat back to the veggies, stir to mix.

Cover and low medium heat for another ten minutes.

Serve.

Why? I noticed the potatoes and carrots just tasted like potatoes and carrot. Not as flavourful as they could be. 

Idea, a couple cloves of garlic peeled, cut in half to add to water with veggies.
