Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 russet potatoes (about 8 ounces each)
  2. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  3. 1 12-ounce package kielbasa, cut into 4 pieces and halved lengthwise
  4. 2 leeks (white and light green parts only), halved and thinly sliced
  5. 1/2 small head Savoy or green cabbage, thinly sliced
  6. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  7. 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (about 4 ounces)
  8. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  9. Spicy brown or whole-grain mustard, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork; microwave, turning once, until tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kielbasa and cook, turning, until lightly browned, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate; cover to keep warm.
  3. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the cabbage, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, about 4 minutes.
  4. Split the potatoes and arrange on a baking sheet. Top each with 1/2 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons Gruyere; fluff the insides with a fork to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the kielbasa among the potatoes and top with the cabbage mixture. Toss the remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere with the parsley and sprinkle on top of the potatoes. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Serve with mustard for dipping.

This recipe was so delicious and easy. I made extra of the cabbage/leek mix and served most of the portions with half a potato and the extra cabbage, but that’s just my preference. Don’t skimp on the butter, that’s what makes it tasty 🙂

This is a really tasty recipe I would make again. To save some calories (a total of 757, which I think is a lot!), I used low-fat kielbasa and cut back on the amount of butter. While the baked potato is good, the highlight of this dish is the combination of the sautéed kielbasa and leeks/cabbage. Next time, I will skip the step of adding butter and cheese to the potato and fluffing it up, since I don’t think it added much to the final dish. Or I will just serve the potato (or noodles) next to it. But all in all, really good!
