Tender red potatoes, crisp sweet corn and slightly spicy kielbasa sausage are sauteed together and then tossed with oregano and thyme for a meal that my whole family loves.
Fresh or dried herbs work well in this meal, either kind will combine with the potatoes for a very flavorful skillet meal. This is a meal that I’ve been making without a recipe for so many years now; I had to actually pay attention to what I was doing and write down the recipe the last time I made it.
If you have fresh corn available, use it. Nothing truly compares with fresh corn in most dishes. (I’ve been cooking with fresh corn every single chance I get lately!)
However, I’ve made this with fresh, frozen and canned corn and all versions are delicious! Served with a fresh salad or just a handful of vegetables on the side, this is a very simple meal that we all enjoy.
Herbed Potatoes with Kielbasa and Corn
Ingredients
- 1 small yellow onion diced small
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 13 ounce kielbasa / polish sausage, sliced as thinly as possible, beef sausage works as well
- 6 baby red potatoes 2" or so in diameter, sliced very thinly
- 2 ears of corn kernels removed or 1 can of corn (drained) or 1 ½ cups frozen corn
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves or ½ tablespoon fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves or ½ tablespoon fresh
Instructions
- In a very large skillet, over medium high heat, warm the oil. Add the onions and saute 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the potatoes and the sausage and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper as the potatoes are cooking. Lower the heat to medium and add the corn and the herbs. Cook an additional 5-10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Enjoy!

Set me a place at the table!
I know what you mean about the fresh corn, I basically ignored it all summer and now I can't get enough.

I get this ally o myself b/c Ben won't eat sausage.
Chris says
I was liking this a lot and then I realized why – it has all of the fixings for a crab or crawfish boil, except the crab or crawfish! Looks very good!
TSack says
I just made this one, Mary, and it got high approval ratings from Scott, Ben and I. We all agreed this recipe is a keeper.
