Description

Hearty kielbasa skillet dinner brings Polish-inspired comfort straight to your kitchen, blending smoky sausage with tender potatoes and crisp vegetables. Sizzling flavors and quick preparation make this meal a perfect weeknight solution you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 1 package (14 ounces / 397 grams) kielbasa, sliced

Vegetables:

  • 3 medium potatoes, cubed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Seasoning and Oil:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Warm olive oil in a spacious pan over medium-high temperature, creating a sizzling cooking surface.
  2. Introduce diced potatoes to the skillet, allowing them to crisp and transform into golden-brown morsels during 10-12 minutes of intermittent stirring.
  3. Incorporate chopped onions, vibrant bell peppers, and minced garlic, sautéing until the vegetables soften and release their aromatic essence, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  4. Gently layer sliced kielbasa into the vegetable mixture, letting the sausage caramelize and heat thoroughly for 5-6 minutes, developing rich, deep flavors.
  5. Elevate the dish with strategic seasoning of salt and freshly cracked pepper, ensuring a balanced taste profile.
  6. Transfer the sizzling skillet contents to serving plates, presenting a hearty and colorful one-pan meal that promises robust, comforting flavors.

Notes

  • Enhance potato crispiness by patting them dry before cooking to achieve a golden-brown exterior with better texture.
  • Replace kielbasa with turkey sausage or plant-based alternatives for a lighter, healthier version that still delivers robust flavor.
  • Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for a creamy interior that holds shape during cooking and provides a smooth mouthfeel.
  • Customize the dish by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to elevate the overall taste profile and introduce a fresh aromatic element.
