Kielbasa and Apple Hash


Original recipe:

4 medium size potatoes
1/2 pre-cooked Kielbasa (14oz package)
2-3 tablespoons butter
Salt & Pepper
Garlic powder

1-2 apples, chopped (I used Honeycrisp)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1-2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 cup water

1.) Shred potatoes (skin on) with a food processor. Squeeze out excess liquid from potatoes using a potato ricer or paper towel, so the potatoes don't change color.

2.) In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

3.) Add a thin layer of potatoes to the skillet and cook on one side until golden brown - 3-5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

4.) When bottom side is golden brown, turn over and cook until both sides are golden brown. Repeat until all hashbrowns are cooked, then set aside in a large bowl.

5.) Slice kielbasa thinly and cook over medium heat until they are slightly browned on both sides. Turn frequently to prevent burning. Add to hashbrowns when done cooking.

6.) Add lime juice, water, apples, and cinnamon to skillet; mix well. Cook 1-2 minutes over low to medium heat until liquid has reduced and apples have softened slightly.

7.) Add apples to hashbrown mixture and toss.

Serves 6.
