Kielbasa Hash With Carrots and Caraway

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
• 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 1 pound kielbasa sausage, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 1 pound starchy potatoes (such as Idaho), cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 1/2 pound carrots, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons water
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat 2 Tbs. Oil over low heat in a 12-inch non-stick skillet (so potatoes don't stick). While skillet heats, prepare onion and kielbasa sausage. A few minutes before cooking, increase heat to medium-high. When oil starts to send up wisps of smoke, add onion and kielbasa sausage; cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, dice potatoes and carrots, and toss with remaining oil. Transfer onion and kielbasa mixture to a bowl and reserve.

Add potato and carrot mixture to empty skillet; cook, stirring only occasionally so they form a golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes. As potatoes cook, mix ketchup, mustard, caraway seeds, parsley and 2 Tbs. Of water. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead. Spread hot potatoes on a large lipped cookie sheet; cover when cool. Return skillet to medium-high; add potatoes and re-crisp. )

Return reserved kielbasa mixture to skillet; stir in ketchup mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until hash has nicely browned, about 5 minutes longer.
