So, I’m not going to win any prizes for unique recipe names, am I?
Or short recipe names!

Sausage with Potatoes & Grilled onion is a quick, healthy meal that's easy to make and delicious.
Fortunately, the only thing boring or complicated about this meal is the name.  (How ironic, can you have something that’s boring and complicated at the same time? Hmmm… I’m thinking about chemistry, the stock market, how an HVAC system works… yep, something can be boring and complicated at the same time.)

But trust me, this meal is neither. It’s simple to make, but it’s one of those meals that makes you feel like you’re a real homemaker. Something about fried potatoes just bring up those cozy feelings of nurturing your family with hearty, delicious food.

Sausage With Potatoes & Grilled Onion; Simple to make and satisfying to eat!

Now, when I say “sausage”, what I really mean is turkey kielbasa. At least that’s what I buy because we try to eat as little pork as possible. But I’m sure this would work with any kind of kielbasa or smoked sausage. (Honestly I don’t really know the difference, I Just know the store sells both, so there must be one.)

I usually serve it with green beans and cooked apples. Mmmm, those cooked apples just bumps up the “homestyle” factor by a hundred notches!

Simple to make, hearty and delicious!
Ingredients
  • 3-4 medium potatoes
  • 1⅕ package turkey kielbasa or smoked sausage-sliced
  • 1 small-medium onion-cubed
Instructions
  1. Peel and slice potatoes (I cut each in half lengthwise then into thick slices.)
  2. Boil potatoes in generously salted water until just barely tender.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, cut onions into cubes.
  4. Heat a large skillet or griddle, add 1-2 TBSP cooking oil (I use olive) and cook the onions on a low setting to brown them.
  5. After about 5 minutes, increase temperature and add the sliced kielbasa; brown on each side.
  6. Drain potatoes, add to the pan, making sure temp stays high enough to brown the potatoes instead of steaming them.
  7. That's it. You're done.
  8. Serve with warm green beans and cooked apples (Peel and slice apples, cook on low in a saucepan with about ½ cup of water. Add sugar to taste.)

Make Ahead Tips:

Freezer: Buy several kielbasas and slice them all at once. Freeze in meal-sized portions.

Cook in the morning: This meal is full of opportunities to “cook in the morning”. You can peel and slice your potatoes and just keep them in cold water until you’re ready to cook them. Do the same with your apples, and because you pulled the sliced kielbasa from the freezer, dinner is almost made well before lunch!

    I’m not a big sausage fan, but my husband would love this. Looks easy!

      Robin, you’ll have to do what I do with the meals my husband likes but I don’t. I make them when I’m going out with a friend! He and my daughter both like shrimp but I don’t. So when I’m going out I make them either shrimp linguine or lemon shrimp with bow-time pasta. We all win!

    My Grandmother called this “slop in a skillet” , it was my favorite as a child when we visited her.

      Michael, that’s funny. I’m not so sure I would have loved it if it was called that. She sounds like she was funny. Do you make it now to remember the good old days?
