Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) smoked sausage (kielbasa or your favorite variety), sliced
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
Seasonings:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes in a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil, sprinkling garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 10-12 minutes, creating a golden crispy exterior while maintaining a tender interior. Transfer potatoes to a separate plate.
- Utilize the same skillet, adding remaining olive oil to sear sausage slices until browned, approximately 3-4 minutes. Introduce diced onions and continue cooking until they become translucent and soft.
- Incorporate minced garlic into the skillet, allowing aromatics to release their fragrance for 1-2 minutes.
- Reunite the crispy potatoes with sausage and onion mixture, gently tossing to ensure even heat distribution and thorough warming, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the sizzling medley to serving plates, optionally adorning with fresh parsley. The dish is perfect as a hearty standalone meal or accompanied by a light salad.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best crispy exterior and creamy interior when cooking this dish.
- Slice sausages diagonally to create more surface area for better caramelization and extra flavor development during cooking.
- Pat potatoes dry before cooking to ensure they become golden and crispy instead of steaming in the skillet.
- Customize the recipe by using different sausage varieties like spicy Italian, chicken, or vegetarian sausage alternatives to suit various dietary preferences.
