Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb pre-cooked kielbasa sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds
  • 1.5 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into evenly sized cubes
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1–2 bell peppers, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-ins & Garnishes

  • Sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes (for spicy kick)
  • Zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes (for extra veggies)
  • Cauliflower florets (for low-carb substitution)
  • Shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese (for cheesy finish)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, rosemary, or dill
  • Fresh chopped parsley or chives for garnish
  • Sour cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Wash and cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes to ensure even cooking. Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized rounds, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop any additional vegetables you want to include.
  2. Brown the Potatoes: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook without stirring frequently, allowing a golden crust to form on the bottom. This creates a crispy exterior while keeping the insides tender.
  3. Add the Sausage and Veggies: Once the potatoes begin to soften, add kielbasa slices, diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell peppers. Stir to combine and cook until the sausage warms through and the onions become translucent, letting the flavors meld together.
  4. Season and Finish Cooking: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs over the skillet. Cover the pan and cook for a few more minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender and all ingredients are thoroughly cooked.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or preferred herbs. Serve warm as a satisfying meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked kielbasa to save time and enhance caramelization.
  • Cut potatoes into small cubes for faster cooking and crispier edges.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow proper browning instead of steaming.
  • Cook over medium heat to ensure potatoes cook through without burning.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to maintain bright flavor and appearance.
