I substituted sweet potato for the regular potato and Bistro Sensations Spinach w/Mozzarella chicken sausage (120 cal one link) for for the kielbasa. Excellent taste. My friends raved about it and asked for the recipe.

My family loves this recipe!  I use light kielbasa and leave out the bacon to save fat & calories!

Potato kielbasa skillet is an excellent source of most of the vitamins we need to survive and this dish tastes very, very good. It's a keeper, for sure.

My sisters and I LOVE this dish. We make it a minimum of once a month (we get together on Thursday for a family dinner). One time we overcooked the potatoes and they were a little mushy, we decided we like it better that way. All the flavors just tend to meld together.. hehe

This was delicious. I didn't have any bacon, but I had bacon fat in the fridge and used that to saute the kielbasa and onion.

Re: Potato Kielbasa Skillet

It is great with the substitution of sausage and asparagus. Left overs are great

My picky kids asked for seconds and even ate the spinach! I started with 5 strips of uncooked bacon which I diced and then sauted in the pan until crisp, removed with a slotted spoon and drained off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat. Instead of olive oil, I sautéd the kielbasa and onion in 1 tablespoon bacon fat. This substitution added extra flavor. Yes, I am aware that it also adds 5 calories to this dish as well as added cholesterol.
