A quick and easy skillet breakfast hash featuring crispy Yukon gold potatoes and smoky kielbasa, perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 12 ounces smoked kielbasa, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red or green bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: a few dashes of hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice Yukon gold potatoes into roughly 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse briefly in cold water to remove excess starch and pat dry thoroughly.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until bottoms turn golden, then stir occasionally and cook until tender and crisped, about 10 more minutes. Add a splash of water and cover for a minute if potatoes stick.
  3. Push potatoes to one side of the pan. Add remaining oil or butter, then add diced onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring often, until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute to avoid burning.
  4. Move vegetables aside and add sliced kielbasa to the pan. Brown on one side for about 2 minutes, then stir everything together. Cook another 2-3 minutes until kielbasa is warmed through and slightly caramelized.
  5. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the hash. Stir well and cook for another minute to meld flavors. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and add hot sauce if desired before serving.

Notes

Dry potatoes thoroughly before cooking to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Stir potatoes less frequently to allow browning. For quicker prep, partially microwave potatoes for 3-4 minutes but skillet method yields better texture. Swap ingredients for variations like sweet potatoes, chicken sausage, or plant-based sausage.
