Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 1/2 inch in size. Place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Slice the kielbasa into 1/4-inch rounds. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Finely chop the parsley and set aside for garnish.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa slices and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter to the same skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the potatoes in a single layer. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and lightly caramelized.
Return the browned kielbasa to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top before serving.
Serve hot as a main dish or alongside eggs or a salad for a complete meal.
