Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound potatoes (any variety, peeled and chopped into 0.5-inch pieces)
  • 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil or light olive oil plus more only if needed
  • 1 small onion chopped into 0.5-inch pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound kielbasa sliced thin
  • 0.5 medium head green cabbage sliced into ribbons, about 4 cups worth
  • 2 tablespoons water

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Peel and chop the potatoes, rinse the potatoes and place them in a medium-size glass bowl. Sprinkle the potatoes with 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, stir or toss with your hands. Microwave the potatoes for 4 minutes, stir and microwave an additional 2-4 minutes until fork tender.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and as soon as it's shimmering, add the onions. Saute for a few minutes, until the onion is barely tender and lightly browned. Add the garlic and the kielbasa. Cook while stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes. When the potatoes are tender, add them to the skillet. Toss to coat, adding a small additional drizzle of oil only if needed. Spread the potatoes across the pan and allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes, stir and continue cooking until lightly browned.
  3. Add the cabbage and sprinkle with 0.25 teaspoon salt and the remaining 0.25 teaspoon pepper. Toss to combine, add 2 tablespoons water to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover with lid. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the cabbage is bright green and barely wilted. Taste and add additional salt, only if needed. Enjoy!
