1 pound red potatoes (3-4 medium), cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Place potatoes and water in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave, covered, on high until potatoes are tender, 3-4 minutes; drain.
Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, thyme and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute onion and kielbasa until onion is tender.
Add potatoes; cook and stir until lightly browned, 3-5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach until wilted. Stir in bacon.

Potato Kielbasa Skillet Tips
Is kielbasa already cooked?
Yes, kielbasa is already cooked. When you purchase kielbasa in the grocery store, it has already been smoked and pre-cooked. When you use it in recipes, all you need to do is heat it back up and/or brown it for the dish you’re making.
How do you know when kielbasa is done?
Kielbasa is perfectly cooked when it registers between 168°F and 174°F on a meat thermometer.
