Quick and Easy Kielbasa Skillet

This Quick and Easy Kielbasa Skillet recipe is a quick, delicious, and easy-to-make dinner. With a combination of savory smoked sausage, potatoes, zucchini, and corn, this is a hearty and satisfying meal (but you can customize the combination of vegetables to your liking). It’s a favorite in our house, and I love that it takes only about 30 minutes to get to the table. This is a meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or leisurely weekends. And if you like an easy one-pan meal, check out my recipe for Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies. 

Now even though this recipe is simple and rustic, there is one step I like to take that some may consider a little fussy. Because I like my potatoes to be crispy and golden brown on the outside, while staying soft and fluffy on the inside, I like to spend a few extra minutes and par-cook the potatoes.

To do this, simply boil the sliced potatoes in a pot of salted, boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until they are just shy of being tender. Then you drain them and give a good toss in the colander to get the potato slices a little roughed up. Definitely don’t skip the tossing part – this not only gets the water off, but it also creates a surface that’s perfect for forming that golden crust when you fry them.

Everything after this is just a matter of tossing in the pan, and frying in a little oil and butter. I don’t even bother cooking the ears of corn first before removing the kernels because the slight crunchiness of the corn goes well in this dish. If you want to serve this as an easy weeknight meal, I would simply par-cook the potatoes the evening before, and store them in the fridge. Make it extra easy by chopping the vegetables and sausage the night before, too.

So if you enjoy quick and easy kielbasa recipes, I hope you give this recipe a try. And if you do, I hope you love it. Follow me on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram so you don’t miss a post.
