Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Rinse them with cold water and set aside.
Peel and slice the onion into thin wedges.
Peel the carrots and cut them into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the kielbasa slices to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove the kielbasa from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown.
Add the onions and carrots to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften.
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly in the seasonings.
Pour in 1/4 cup of water and cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the vegetables cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Uncover the skillet and return the kielbasa to the pan. Stir everything together and cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the kielbasa to warm through.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty meal!
