Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 pound Polish sausage (kielbasa), sliced into coins

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon butter

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for about 20 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with paper towels. This step will help achieve maximum crispiness.

    Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Polish sausage and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until browned and slightly crispy. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

        Fry the Potatoes: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the drained and dried potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Fry for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

          Combine Ingredients: Once the potatoes are crispy, add the cooked sausage back into the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to meld.

            Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the dish to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
