Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) polish sausage, sliced into rounds
Vegetables:
- 1 pound (454 grams) potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Condiments and Seasonings:
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat, creating a perfect searing environment for the sausage.
- Carefully arrange Polish sausage slices in the hot skillet, letting them develop a rich golden-brown crust for 4-6 minutes on each side, then transfer to a waiting plate.
- Into the same skillet, introduce diced potatoes, spreading them evenly to ensure maximum crispy texture, cooking for 9-11 minutes while occasionally stirring.
- Introduce thinly sliced onions and freshly minced garlic to the potatoes, sautéing until onions become soft and translucent, releasing their aromatic essence for 3-4 minutes.
- Gently reintroduce the seared sausage rounds back into the skillet, combining with the potato-onion mixture.
- Drain and rinse sauerkraut thoroughly, then fold into the skillet, ensuring all ingredients are well integrated.
- Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper, allowing ingredients to simmer and marry flavors for 6-8 minutes over medium-low heat.
- For a vibrant finish, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley across the top and serve piping hot directly from the skillet.
Notes
- Swap regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a nutrient-rich twist and added vitamin boost.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium sauerkraut and selecting a lighter Polish sausage variety.
- Make the dish vegetarian by replacing sausage with smoked tofu or plant-based sausage alternatives.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure all ingredients, especially sausage, are certified gluten-free.
