Introduction:
This hearty and flavorful dish is a perfect combination of tangy sauerkraut, juicy sausages, and tender potatoes. Packed with savory goodness and balanced by a touch of sweetness from the pineapple, this one-pan wonder is easy to prepare and perfect for any weeknight dinner or cozy family meal.
Ingredients:
- 4-5 smoked sausages or kielbasa, sliced
- 3 cups sauerkraut (drained and rinsed)
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained if using canned)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust as needed)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the pan: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
- Cook the sausages: Add the sliced sausages to the pan and sauté until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté onions and potatoes: In the same pan, add the diced onions and cubed potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to soften.
- Add sauerkraut and pineapple: Stir in the sauerkraut, pineapple chunks, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Combine and cook: Return the sausages to the pan. Cover and let everything simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve and garnish: Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
Optional Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine or a teaspoon of mustard while cooking.
- Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
