Fried Potatoes Onions And Smoked Polish Sausage

 🥔🍳 Fried Potatoes, Onions & Smoked Polish Sausage

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1 large onion, thinly sliced

1 lb smoked Polish sausage (like kielbasa), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

3 tbsp vegetable oil or butter (or a mix)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Prep the potatoes:

Place diced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly.

Cook the sausage:

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes.

Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.

Cook the potatoes:

Add remaining oil to the skillet.

Add the dried potatoes in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches).

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, about 15-20 minutes.

Add onions and garlic:

When potatoes are about halfway done, add sliced onions and garlic.

Continue cooking until onions are soft and caramelized and potatoes are tender.

Combine and season:

Return sausage to the skillet.

Stir everything together.

Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).

Cook another 2-3 minutes to let flavors meld.

Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley.

Enjoy hot with mustard or ketchup on the side if you like!

Tips:

For extra crispiness, cover the skillet with a lid for the first 5 minutes of cooking potatoes, then uncover to crisp them up.

Add bell peppers for color and flavor.

This dish pairs well with eggs for breakfast or a simple green salad for dinner.
