Description

This quick and hearty skillet meal brings together crispy potatoes, juicy kielbasa, and tender cabbage—all ready in just 20 minutes.


Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp refined coconut oil or light olive oil

1 medium onion, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

12 oz kielbasa, thinly sliced

½ head green cabbage, sliced into ribbons

23 tbsp water


Instructions

Prep Potatoes: Peel and chop potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Microwave in a microwave-safe bowl for 4 minutes, stir, then microwave for another 2–4 minutes until fork-tender.

Cook Onion: Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until softened and slightly browned.

Add Garlic & Kielbasa: Stir in garlic and kielbasa. Cook for about 3 minutes until kielbasa is golden and sizzling.

Add Potatoes: Transfer microwaved potatoes to the skillet. Toss to combine, then let sit undisturbed for a few minutes to crisp up. Stir occasionally.

Steam Cabbage: Add cabbage to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, toss well, then add 2–3 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for about 2 minutes until cabbage is wilted but still vibrant.

Finish & Serve: Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.

Notes

Microwaving the potatoes first cuts cook time and ensures a tender interior.

Let potatoes crisp without stirring too much for golden edges.

Slice kielbasa thin for more browning and flavor in each bite.

Don’t overcook the cabbage—keep a bit of crunch for the best texture.
