03 - 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
04 - 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced

# How To Make It:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add kielbasa slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove kielbasa from skillet and set aside.
02 - Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Incorporate diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and beginning to soften, about 8 to 10 minutes.
03 - Add diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant and onions are translucent, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
04 - Stir in sliced cabbage, smoked paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Continue cooking with frequent stirring until cabbage is wilted and tender, around 5 to 7 minutes.
05 - Return browned kielbasa to the skillet. Toss all ingredients together and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes to heat through and blend flavors. Adjust seasoning as needed.
06 - Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot with optional whole-grain mustard or sour cream.
