Ingredients
6 medium red potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 pound smoked beef sausage, sliced into coins
16 ounces sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Dice the red potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.
Rinse and drain the sauerkraut thoroughly, pressing out excess liquid.
Heat the canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed potatoes and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until lightly browned.
Stir in the sliced onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until translucent.
Add the sliced beef sausage and the prepared sauerkraut to the skillet.
Season with black pepper and continue to cook for 5 minutes until the sausage is browned and the mixture is heated through.
Notes
Ensure you select a high-quality beef or poultry smoked sausage. The quality of the sausage is the primary flavor driver of this dish. Rinse the sauerkraut well if you prefer a milder, less salty tang.
