# What You'll Need:
→ Meats
01 - 14 oz smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds
→ Vegetables
02 - 1 medium yellow onion, diced
03 - 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
04 - 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
05 - 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
→ Pantry
07 - 2 tbsp olive oil
08 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter
09 - ½ tsp smoked paprika
10 - ½ tsp dried thyme
11 - ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
12 - ¾ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
→ Optional Garnishes
13 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

# How to Make It:
01 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add sliced kielbasa and cook 4–5 minutes, turning until browned on both sides. Remove and keep aside.
02 - Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Stir in diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and beginning to soften, about 8–10 minutes.
03 - Add diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
04 - Incorporate sliced cabbage, smoked paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring often, until cabbage wilts and tenderizes, approximately 5–7 minutes.
05 - Return browned kielbasa to the skillet. Toss well and cook for 2–3 minutes to meld flavors and heat through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
06 - Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot with optional mustard or sour cream.
