Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large Russet potatoes, peeled and diced into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound smoked Polish sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and dice the russet potatoes into bite-sized cubes for even cooking. Thinly slice the yellow onion, and cut the smoked Polish sausage into half-inch rounds. Having all ingredients ready will ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes in a single layer, seasoning with salt and pepper. Let them fry undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until they develop a crispy, golden crust on one side, then flip to crisp the other side.
  3. Add the Onions: Add the sliced onions to the skillet on top of the potatoes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes, adding sweetness and depth to the dish.
  4. Cook the Smoked Polish Sausage: Add the sliced smoked Polish sausage to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook until the sausage is warmed through and slightly browned, about 4-5 minutes, intensifying its smoky flavor.
  5. Final Touches: Stir everything well to blend the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed. Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a fresh, colorful garnish before serving.

Notes

  • Use dry potatoes: After cutting, pat potatoes dry with paper towels to help them crisp up.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet: Cook potatoes in a single layer to brown evenly instead of steaming.
  • Cook onions on moderate heat: This allows caramelization without burning.
  • Choose quality smoked Polish sausage for best flavor.
  • Stir gently during cooking to maintain crispy edges on the potatoes.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free; verify sausage ingredients if necessary.
