Instructions

  • Using a sharp knife (or corn on the cob peeler), cut the corn off the cob. Once kernels are removed, run the back of your knife down the husk to remove the bottom parts of the corn. Set aside.
    A person is cutting kernels off a cob of corn using a knife on a wooden cutting board.
  • In a large pot, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Saute onion, smoked sausage, and potatoes for about 7 minutes or until the onions start to become tender and everything starts to sweat a little.
