Instructions

    Brown the sausage

    Cut the smoked sausage into 1-inch pieces. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sausage, and saute 3 to 4 minutes until it picks up some color.

  1. 2

    Add potatoes, onion and apple

    Cut the red potatoes into bite-size wedges, and the onion and apple into wedges. Use refrigerated pre-cooked red potato wedges here if you want to stay inside 30 minutes. Add everything to the skillet and saute 4 to 5 minutes, until the apple is tender and the potatoes are golden.

  2. 3

    Glaze and simmer

    Stir in the cider vinegar, sugar and caraway seeds. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered 2 to 3 minutes, until glazed and heated through.

  3. 4

    Finish

    Kill the heat, chop the parsley and scatter it over the top, and serve straight out of the pan.

Notes & Tips

This is the kind of dinner that happens because there's a ring of smoked sausage in the fridge and not much else, and it still tastes like you tried. The one move that keeps it fast is using refrigerated pre-cooked red potato wedges, raw potatoes will blow your 30 minutes wide open. Don't skip the splash of cider vinegar and the pinch of sugar, that sweet-tart hit is what pulls the sausage, apple and potatoes together instead of leaving three separate things sitting in a pan. Caraway is the quiet workhorse here, use it if you've got it. Any smoked sausage works, kielbasa, or andouille if you want some heat. It doesn't need a side.
