Potato - Keilbasa Skillet

Potato-Kielbasa-Skillet

This is a polish dish. Very much a side dish but can also me eaten as a main course with few chunks of warm garlic breads or even accompanied with some green salad. Kielbasa, in Polish means Sausage. But in other parts of the world "kielbasa" means "Polish Sausage". I know it is difficult to get Kielbasa in India. So just don't try .. and good spiced Frankfurter would be good enough.
