Kielbasa and Potatoes Skillet Recipe

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat to get it hot enough for frying the kielbasa sausage.

Slice the kielbasa sausage into rounds and add them to the heated skillet. Stir frequently as the sausage browns for about 6 minutes, releasing flavorful fat. Then remove the kielbasa from the pan and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

While the kielbasa cooks, chop the Vidalia onion and potatoes into bite-sized pieces.

Add the chopped potatoes to the skillet with the kielbasa fat. Sprinkle paprika, kosher salt, and oregano or Italian seasoning over the potatoes and stir well to coat everything in the flavorful fat. Reduce the heat to medium or medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook the potatoes, stirring regularly, for about 13 minutes until they begin to brown and soften.

Stir in the chopped onions and minced garlic. Cover again and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 12 minutes more until the onions are tender and the potatoes are fully cooked.

Return the browned kielbasa slices to the skillet and mix everything together. Cook uncovered for an additional 4 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors.
