Description

A comforting, hearty one‑pan meal combining smoky Polish sausage, tangy sauerkraut, and tender potatoes—perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb Polish sausage (kielbasa), sliced into 1‑inch pieces
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 (14‑oz) can sauerkraut, drained and lightly rinsed
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
  2. Toss potato halves with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet. Roast 20 minutes.
  3. While potatoes roast, heat remaining oil in a large oven‑safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add sliced sausage; cook until browned, about 5 minutes more.
  5. Stir in drained sauerkraut and caraway seeds (if using), and heat through.
  6. Remove potatoes from the oven; add to the skillet, tossing gently to combine.
  7. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake 10–15 minutes until flavors meld and potatoes are tender.
  8. Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For milder flavor, rinse sauerkraut until liquid runs clear.
  • Substitute sweet or smoked sausage if kielbasa isn’t available.
  • Add sliced apple or a splash of apple juice during cooking for a touch of sweetness.
  • To make it gluten‑free, ensure the sausage is certified gluten‑free.
