Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces kielbasa sausage
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch). Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until it develops a nice sear. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the cooked potatoes and kielbasa sausage to the skillet. Sprinkle with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to reheat and meld the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
