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, sliced thin
1/2 head green cabbage, sliced into ribbons
2–3 tbsp water
Instructions
Cook Potatoes: Place chopped potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with salt and pepper. Microwave for 4 minutes, stir, then microwave another 2–4 minutes until fork-tender.
Sauté Onions: While potatoes cook, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until softened and golden.
Add Kielbasa & Garlic: Stir in garlic and kielbasa slices, cooking for 3 minutes until sizzling and browned.
Crisp Potatoes: Add cooked potatoes to the skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for a few minutes to crisp, then stir occasionally.
Steam Cabbage: Add cabbage, season with salt and pepper, toss together, then add a splash of water. Cover and steam for 2 minutes until cabbage is wilted but still bright.
Serve: Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.
Notes
Microwaving potatoes first speeds up cooking.
Let potatoes brown without stirring for crispy edges.
Thinly sliced kielbasa browns better and adds flavor.
Don’t overcook cabbage—keep it slightly crisp for texture.
