Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
• 12 ounces kielbasa sausage
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the kielbasa slices and cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping occasionally, until browned and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and lightly golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the onions and garlic, stirring to combine and heat through.

Step 7

Add the cooked potatoes and browned kielbasa to the skillet. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the potatoes and sausage are well coated in the dressing.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the potato salad with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

Step 9

Serve the hot potato salad immediately as a main dish or a hearty side. Enjoy!
