Aside

I'm going to share one of my very favorite sides with you! Sorry for the lack of picture, but none of them turned out so you will just have to imagine what it looks like... or make it yourself :)

Potato Kielbasa Skillet

1 pound red potatoes, cubed
3 TBSP water
3/4 pound kielbasa, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 TBSP olive oil
2 TBSP brown sugar
2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
1 TBSP Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp pepper
4 cups fresh baby spinach
5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Place potatoes and water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes or until tender; drain.

In a large skillet, saute kielbasa and onion in oil until onion is tender. Add potatoes; saute 3-5 minutes longer or until kielbasa and potatoes are lightly browned.

Combine the brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, thyme and pepper; stir into skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Add spinach and bacon; cook and stir until spinach is wilted. Yield: 4 servings.
