Ah, Green Beans and Potatoes with Polish Sausage 🥔🥬🌭 — a hearty, comforting, one-pan meal that’s flavorful and filling. Here’s a simple, classic way to make it:
🥘 Green Beans, Potatoes & Polish Sausage
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 1 lb (450 g) Polish sausage (kielbasa), sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 lb (450 g) small potatoes, quartered or diced
- 1 lb (450 g) fresh green beans, trimmed (or frozen)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
- Cook the sausage
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
- Add sausage slices and brown for 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the potatoes
- In the same pan, add remaining oil or butter.
- Add potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, about 10–12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
- Add vegetables
- Add onion and garlic, sauté 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in green beans and cooked sausage.
- Cover and cook another 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until green beans are tender but still bright green.
- Finish & serve
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Pro Tips
- Even cooking: Cut potatoes into uniform pieces to cook evenly.
- Flavor boost: Add a splash of chicken broth or beer while cooking potatoes for extra flavor.
- Crispy edges: If you like, leave the pan uncovered in the last few minutes to lightly brown everything.
- Make it one-pot: Use a large skillet or Dutch oven so sausage, potatoes, and beans cook together and blend flavors.
