Can I use a different type of sausage? Yes, you can use any type of sausage you prefer, such as Italian sausage, bratwurst, or chicken sausage. Just ensure it’s sliced into even pieces for uniform cooking.

Do I need to peel the potatoes? It’s up to you. Leaving the skins on adds extra texture and nutrients, but you can peel them if you prefer a smoother texture.

Can I make this dish ahead of time? You can prep the ingredients ahead of time by slicing the kielbasa and dicing the vegetables. Store them separately in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook.
