Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces smoked sausage or kielbasa
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds and dice the onion into thin slices.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onion. Cook the onion over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until caramelized. Remove the onion from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.

Step 5

Cut the cooked baby potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 6

In the skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, whole grain mustard, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are crispy, return the sausage and caramelized onion to the skillet. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss to combine.

Step 9

Sprinkle the warm salad with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately, either as a main course or a side dish.
