Sausage with Potatoes & Peppers

Summertime.  It evokes images of sausages sizzling on a grill and vegetables seething above a fire.  Potatoes roasting in a pan accompanied by multicolored peppers.  It means simplicity and invokes implications of backyard barbecues and open spaces.  This is a very simple recipe, and yet wonderful for a lazy summer evening.

The sausage was charred nicely, and had a nice smoky flavor.  Somehow the smokiness penetrated through to the rest of the dish and lent the peppers and the potatoes a similar flare.
