How to Make Healthier Kielbasa And Spuds

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or small Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium chopped yellow onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  3. While the onion cooks, microwave 1 pound of quartered red potatoes in a covered bowl with 2 tablespoons of water for 3 minutes. This will partially cook them.
  4. Add 1 pound of sliced kielbasa to the skillet with the onions. Increase heat to medium-high.
  5. Brown the kielbasa well, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until nicely browned.
  6. Drain any excess water from the microwaved potatoes and add them to the skillet with the browned kielbasa and onions.
  7. Pour in 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth and add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  9. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
  10. Give the kielbasa mixture a final stir. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
