Ingredients
- 6 medium red potatoes, cubed
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 small onion, halved and sliced
- 1 pound smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1 package (16 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Method
- In a large skillet, saute the potatoes in oil until lightly browned, five to six minutes. Editor's Tip: If desired, you can parboil the potatoes (similar to how we treat them in this skillet red potatoes recipe). Precooking ensures that the potatoes become tender on the inside and crisp on the outside.
- Stir in the onion, and saute until tender, three to four minutes.
- Add the sausage, sauerkraut and pepper. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until heated through, four to five minutes, stirring occasionally. Editor's Tip: Some sauerkraut is juicier than others. If the mixture looks dry, add a splash of water, chicken broth, beer or apple juice. Our Test Kitchen found the dish to be well-seasoned between the smoked sausage and sauerkraut, but you can add salt to taste if desired.
