Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Dice the onion. Peel and cube the potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Core and roughly chop the cabbage into large chunks. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
Add the smoked sausage to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cubed potatoes. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to brown.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped cabbage, then pour in the chicken broth. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and potatoes are tender.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and blend the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy this hearty skillet meal as-is or with a slice of crusty bread on the side.
