Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Cut the kielbasa into 1/2-inch thick slices. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic. Wash and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the sliced onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and golden brown.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet along with the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the potatoes in the seasonings.

Step 8

Cover the skillet and cook the potatoes over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly browned.

Step 9

Return the cooked kielbasa to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the kielbasa through.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your Pittsburgh Kielbasa!
