1 pound potatoes, any variety, peeled and chopped into 1/-inch pieces
salt, adjust to taste
ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or olive oil, plus more only if needed
1 small onion, chopped into small pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound kielbasa, sliced into thin coins
1 medium head green cabbage, sliced into ribbons, about 4 cups worth
2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes, rinse the potatoes and place them in a medium-size glass bowl. Sprinkle the potatoes with the salt and black pepper, stir or toss with your hands. Boil the potatoes until fork tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and as soon as it's hot, add the onions. Saute for a few minutes, until the onion is tender and lightly browned. Add the garlic and the kielbasa. Cook while stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes. When the potatoes are tender, add them to the skillet. Toss to coat, adding a small additional drizzle of oil only if needed. Spread the potatoes across the pan and allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes, stir and continue cooking until lightly browned.
Add the cabbage and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Toss to combine, add 2 tablespoons water to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover with lid. Cook for about 4 minutes, until the cabbage is bright green and still a little crunchy. Taste and add additional salt, only if needed.
NOTE: you can sprinkle the top with a little red paprika before serving.
