Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 large bell pepper (any color)
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
Peel and slice the onion into thin strips. Core and dice the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kielbasa slices and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and lightly brown.
Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the kielbasa to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to heat through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh finish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
