Ingredients

• 12 ounces kielbasa sausage
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch). Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until it develops a nice sear. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the sliced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Return the cooked potatoes and kielbasa sausage to the skillet. Sprinkle with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to reheat and meld the flavors.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy!
