Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces smoked sausage or kielbasa
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds and dice the onion into thin slices.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onion. Cook the onion over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until caramelized. Remove the onion from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.
Cut the cooked baby potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In the skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, whole grain mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Once the potatoes are crispy, return the sausage and caramelized onion to the skillet. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss to combine.
Sprinkle the warm salad with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately, either as a main course or a side dish.
