Microwave Miracle Dish Italian Sausage & Potatoes

This dish was awesome. I cooked it a little long (36 Min), so they weren't "plump" per say, but I'm always a bit scared of cooking pork; period. When I do them on the grill, they usually end up as jerky. I never can seem to tell if it is still pink, if the juices are clear, etc... So after this dish  I made sure to get my cooking thermometer to check so I don't over cook things, and so I can give you the best time estimates I can!
