In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, fresh sage, salt, black pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with clean hands or a large spoon until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the sausage patties into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite breakfast sides, or let them cool and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
