Fried Potatoes Onions And Smoked Polish Sausage

Step 2: Cook the Potatoes

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow the potatoes to crisp.
3. Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for 10–15 minutes or until they turn golden brown on all sides.
4. Season lightly with salt and pepper while they cook.

Tip: If you like extra crispy potatoes, let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes before stirring.

Step 3: Add the Onions

1. Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
2. Add the sliced onions to the empty side of the skillet.
3. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown.
4. Mix the onions with the potatoes once caramelized.

Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of paprika or garlic powder for added depth.

Step 4: Cook the Sausage

1. In the same skillet, move the potatoes and onions aside and add the sliced smoked sausage.
2. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is lightly browned and heated through.
3. Combine the sausage with the potatoes and onions, stirring everything together so the flavors meld.

Step 5: Season and Serve

1. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or spices if desired.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley for color and freshness.
3. Serve hot, straight from the skillet, for a rustic and comforting meal.

Tips for the Perfect Skillet Meal:

• Uniform potato size: Cutting potatoes evenly ensures consistent cooking.
• Don’t overcrowd: Fry in batches if necessary for maximum crispiness.
• Smoked sausage: Adds a rich, smoky flavor; you can swap for kielbasa if preferred.
• Optional add-ins: Bell peppers, garlic, or mushrooms can elevate the dish further.

This dish is a true classic for a reason: it’s easy, versatile, and full of flavor. The crispy potatoes, sweet onions, and smoky sausage work together beautifully, making it a crowd-pleaser for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Plus, it all comes together in a single skillet, which makes cleanup a breeze.
