Polish Stir-Fry image

Growing up in the multi-ethnic steel towns outside Pittsburgh, PA produced some very interesting and deliciously unexpected combinations of foods and cooking techniques. This is what happens when a pantry full of Polish staples collides with the stir-fry technique. I first saw it at a church pot-luck dinner and have made it many times.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb kielbasa, cut up into bite-size pieces (pre-boil and cool if you find it too salty straight from the package)
4 cups potatoes, diced
1 -2 carrot, sliced (optional)
1 large onion, diced
1/2 head cabbage, coarsely shredded with a knife. Using a Kraut cutter is OK, but the regular grater cuts too finely

Steps:

  • Lightly grease big, iron skillet (I like to use my chicken fryer), with canola oil.
  • Brown the Kielbasa. Take it out and put it aside. Drain excess grease.
  • Fry potatoes and carrots, stirring often, until half-cooked.
  • Add onion and keep frying, stirring frequently.
  • When the onion is half-cooked, add the cabbage and continue until everything is completely cooked.
  • Return Kielbasa to the pan, mix well, and serve once it is reheated.
  • This dish travels well and reheats well.
