Kielbasa and Potatoes Recipe
Author: Robin Gagnon
Ingredients
- 14-16 oz. kielbasa
- 4-5 potatoes
- 1 Vidalia onion
- ½ tsp. paprika
- ½ tsp minced garlic
- ⅓ tsp. Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp. oregano
Instructions
- Preheat skillet on med-high heat.
- Cut sausage into slices, and drop in the heated pan. Stir while frying.
- As kielbasa is browning, chop the onion and potatoes.
- Once the sausage has browned up a bit, and released most of the grease, scoop it out and put aside. Be careful to leave grease in pan.
- Drop potatoes into the kielbasa grease to fry. Once they start to brown cut down heat to med-low, and add the remaining ingredients. Stir well.
- Once the potatoes have softened, add the kielbasa back into the pan mix in and all to reheat before serving.
Notes
*A reader (on Pinterest) suggested microwaving the potatoes until nearly done, then cutting and frying with the kielbasa, to cut down on cooking time. Since, we all seem to be regularly in a time crunch, to feed our families, I wanted to add her suggestion. She said it worked out well. *Peppers are also a popular addition to many kielbasa and potato recipes. I usually serve a salad or cooked greens along with mine.
While my husband lived with us I made this easy recipe frequently, it was a favorite of his. Now I still make it occasionally, but use the lower fat chicken kielbasa sausage rather than the beef version he preferred. I like serving it with sauteed broccoli rabe.
I make something similar but I use chorizo mild Portuguese sausage. Yummy.
I make something similar, hubs loves it!
I needed a recipe for this that had a little more pizazz than what I was making. Thank you! Recipe copied and save.
This looks fantastic! I’ll have to give it a try.
That looks really good. Plus it sounds easy. This might be good for next month’s meal plan … hmmm. You might have given me an idea!
I make a very similiar dish like this. It’s one of our favorites.
Simple and so good. I made this the other night and had to let you know how much I appreciate the post. Keep ‘em coming.
Thank you so much for your kind message. Glad you liked it
Excited to try this tonight. I found one that involved many more steps and ingredients and wanted something more simple. I plan to serve broccoli on the side
Question. I know this sounds stupid when you add the remaining ingredients does the kielbasa get tossed in as well or get mixed in after. Thanks.
Not a stupid question at all. More like poor directions on my part (this was one of my earlier recipes). Add the kielbasa back in once the potatoes are cooked. Edited the directions to make it clearer.
I have made this for years but add chopped bell pepper and corn. Its quick, easy and a favorite of ours.
Going to try this in the slow cooker as it should work just fine in there for 6-8 hours on low.. Thanks.
Ive been cooking this for years, only with hotdogs, not kielbasi…kids liked hotdogs better…also, leave out the Oregano for this dish, if anything, use parsley instead.
