Understanding Your Ingredients
Before we start cooking, let’s talk about what makes each ingredient special in this kielbasa recipe:
For this hearty meal (serves 4), you’ll need:
- 3-pound small red potatoes: Red potatoes are perfect because they hold their shape well during roasting and develop a wonderfully crispy exterior while staying creamy inside.
- 1 pound Polish kielbasa: Traditional Polish kielbasa adds a rich, smoky flavour that satisfies this dish. The sausage releases flavorful oils while cooking, which helps season the potatoes.
- 2 tablespoons extra light olive oil: Choose extra light olive oil for its higher smoke point, making it ideal for roasting at high temperatures.
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (or 1/2 tablespoon dried): Fresh parsley adds a pop of colour and fresh flavour, though dried works well too.
- 2 garlic cloves: Fresh garlic infuses the dish with an aromatic flavour that garlic powder cannot provide.
- 1 teaspoon sea salt: Sea salt enhances all the flavours and helps create that perfect crispy potato exterior.

Essential Kitchen Tools
While this recipe is simple, having the right tools makes preparation even easier:
- Large baking sheet: Choose one with raised edges to prevent any oils from dripping
- Parchment paper or silicone mat: This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze
- Large mixing bowl: You’ll need space to toss ingredients without spilling
- Sharp knife: Essential for uniform cutting of potatoes and kielbasa
- Cutting board: Preferably a large one to handle all the chopping
- Garlic press: Makes incorporating fresh garlic effortless
Pro Tips for Perfect Results
After making this dish countless times, I’ve gathered some valuable insights:
- Cut your potatoes as uniformly as possible for even cooking
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet – give everything space to get crispy
- For extra flavour, try different kielbasa varieties like smoked or garlic-flavoured
- Use fresh garlic instead of powder for the best taste
- Pat your potatoes dry before seasoning for maximum crispiness
- If you like extra crispy potatoes, leave them in for an additional 5 minutes
- For added flavour, try sprinkling some paprika or black pepper before roasting

Serving Suggestions and Storage
This versatile dish works wonderfully in various meal scenarios:
- Serve as a complete dinner with a crisp green salad
- Add it to a brunch spread for something hearty
- Include it in a buffet-style family gathering
- Pack it for picnics (it’s great at room temperature too!)
- Use it for meal prep throughout the week
For sides, consider these complementary options:
- Steamed green beans or broccoli
- A simple mixed green salad
- Sauerkraut for an authentic Polish touch
- Crusty bread to soak up the flavorful oils
Storage and Reheating:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
- To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F
- Spread leftovers on a baking sheet and heat for 10-12 minutes
- Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the potatoes soggy
