Potato Kielbasa Skillet

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

We served this at a little gathering with friends and it was a hit. A simple and easy meal that went together quickly. It was pulled from the Recipe Shoebox.

Ingredients

1 pound red potatoes, cubed  (I used 5 medium sized potatoes)
3 Tbs. water
3/4 lb. smoked kielbasa or Polish sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. brown sugar
2 Tbs. cider vinegar
1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 cups fresh baby spinach
5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled


Directions

1. Cook the bacon on the stove top in a large pan. Remove and cool on paper towel.

2. Place cubed potatoes and water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover bowl with plastic wrap (no need to poke any holes) and microwave on high for 4-10 minutes or until fork tender; drain. 

3. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, saute kielbasa and onion in oil until onion is tender; about 3-5 minutes. (I skipped the oil and just used the bacon grease to fry it in.) Add potatoes; saute 3-5 minutes longer or until kielbasa and potatoes are lightly browned.

4. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, thyme, and pepper; stir into skillet.

5. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Add spinach and bacon; cook and stir until spinach is wilted.
