Step 6 –In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, heat 2 teaspoons of the vegetable oil.

Step 8 –Transfer the cooked sausage patties to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Step 9 –Add the remaining vegetable oil to the cast iron skillet, flatten, and cook the remaining patties.
