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