1 lb. Yukon gold potatoes, cleaned and cut into quarters
1 T. salt
5 T. olive oil, divided
1 lb. sweet Italian sausages (can substitute turkey sausages)
4 lb. chicken, cut into quarters
1/4 c. flour
2 whole heads of fresh garlic, roasted
2 bay leaves
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/2 c. white wine
2 T. white wine vinegar
1/2 c. chicken stock/broth
freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large saucepan, add potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt; cover with cold water; bring to a boil, partially covered for 10 minutes. Drain well; cool slightly; cut into 3/4-inch slices. Set aside with the skins on.
Heat 1 T. olive oil in a large 12 inch skillet over medium heat; cook sausages on both sides, until browned, about 8 minutes total. Remove sausage from pan; cut into 3/4 inch slices; set aside. The sausage doesn't need to be cooked through, just browned on the outside.
Pat chicken dry; salt and pepper both sides; dust in flour. Add 2 T. olive oil to the pan; sauté chicken until browned, 5-7 minutes per side, about 14 minutes total. Remove chicken from pan; set aside.
Add 2 T. olive oil to the pan; add roasted garlic, bay leaves, rosemary, chicken and sausage; sauté for about 5 minutes. Add wine to deglaze the pan, scraping brown bits off the bottom, for another 5 minutes. Add potatoes, white wine vinegar, chicken stock/broth and lemon juice. Mix well; bake in oven uncovered for 20 minutes.
