Description

A hearty, rustic skillet meal featuring golden fried potatoes, caramelized onions, and smoky Polish sausage — simple, satisfying, and packed with flavor.


Ingredients

  • Russet Potatoes: 4 large (about 2 pounds), peeled and diced
  • Smoked Polish Sausage: 1 pound, sliced into rounds
  • Yellow Onion: 1 large, sliced thin
  • Olive Oil: 3 tablespoons
  • Butter: 1 tablespoon
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon, or to taste
  • Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon, freshly ground
  • Garlic Powder: ½ teaspoon
  • Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat until hot.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Parboil diced potatoes in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain well.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Add olive oil and butter to the skillet, letting it melt and shimmer.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Add the potatoes first, spreading them evenly. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes to form a golden crust.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Add sliced onions and sausage. Stir occasionally until the potatoes are crisp and the sausage browned, about 10–12 minutes.
  6. Finishing Touches: Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot straight from the skillet.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet for the crispiest potatoes.
  • Drain parboiled potatoes completely to avoid sogginess.
  • Add onions halfway through cooking to prevent burning.
  • Garnish right before serving for the freshest look.
