Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes, washed and diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 medium yellow onions, peeled and sliced into thin strips
  • 12 oz smoked Polish sausage, sliced into rounds or half-moons
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, for frying
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the onions into thin strips. Slice the smoked Polish sausage into rounds or half-moons as preferred. Mince the garlic and have salt and pepper ready for seasoning.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and spread them out evenly. Fry without stirring too often to allow a golden crust to form, cooking for about 10-12 minutes until potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  3. Add Onions and Garlic: Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add sliced onions and minced garlic to the empty space and sauté for 5-7 minutes until onions are soft and caramelized. Stir everything together to combine flavors.
  4. Incorporate the Smoked Polish Sausage: Add the sliced sausage to the skillet, stirring occasionally. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sausage is heated through and edges are slightly browned, imparting smoky richness.
  5. Season and Finish: Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If using fresh parsley, sprinkle it on top just before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.

Notes

  • Choose Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for the best crispy texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; ensure potatoes have room to crisp and avoid steaming.
  • Cook potatoes fully first to get a crispy crust before adding softer ingredients.
  • Use smoked Polish sausage to maintain authentic smoky flavor; fresh sausage lacks this depth.
  • Finish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives to brighten the dish.
