Ingredients

• 1 pound kielbasa sausage
• 1 pound baby red potatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 16 ounces sauerkraut
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

Quarter the baby red potatoes, leaving the skins on for added texture. Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt.

Step 4

Add the sliced kielbasa to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onions are translucent.

Step 6

Add the potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle them with paprika and caraway seeds, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the potatoes with the spices.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dijon mustard. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the potatoes simmer for about 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the sauerkraut and return the kielbasa to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat everything through and blend the flavors.

Step 9

Sprinkle the finished dish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot directly from the skillet for a rustic, comforting meal.
