Ingredients

  • 1 14 ounce kielbasa, sliced into rounds
  • 4 potatoes, diced into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Slice kielbasa into 1/4 inch rounds.
  • Place sliced kielbasa into a large skillet and cook over medium heat until they start to brown. Make sure to occasionally stir so that they don't stick.
  • Carefully remove the kielbasa sausage from the skillet but be sure to leave any grease.
  • Add in olive oil, diced potatoes, salt and pepper. Stir the potatoes and then cover the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until potatoes start to soften.
  • Remove lid and add in diced onion and bell pepper. Keep cooking another 7-8 minutes or until they start to soften.
  • Stir in minced garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.
  • Add in kielbasa and let warm through, about 5 minutes. Optional garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

  • If the Polish sausage leaves a lot of grease in the skillet, you might not need to add any olive oil.
  • If you are using turkey sausage, you might need to add an extra tablespoon of olive oil.
  • If you are using a tougher potato, like russets, you might want to cut them and then microwave for 5 minutes before adding to the skillet to help soften them up.
  • Try adding in some sauerkraut or shredded cabbage towards the end of the cooking process for a little crunch.
  • This meal is also delicious topped with fresh diced tomatoes.
  • Like a little heat? Try adding 1/2 tablespoon of crushed red pepper to the mixture or a little hot sauce.
