Potato Keilbasa Skillet

1 lb. red potatoes, cooked & cubed
3/4 lb. smoked kielbasa, or Polish sausage, cut into 1/4" slices
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. pepper
5 bacon strips, cooked & crumbled
4 c. fresh baby spinach

Boil potatoes until tender; drain. Cook bacon; drain fat. In a large skillet, saute kielbasa & onion in olive oil until onion is tender. Add potatoes; saute 3-5 min. longer, or until kielbasa & potatoes are browned. Combine brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, spices, & bacon; add to skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat & simmer uncovered for 2-3 min. until heated through. Add spinach & cook until wilted.
--------------------------------
If you're short on time, you can place the potatoes & 3 Tbsp. water in a bowl. Cover & microwave on high for 4 min. until potatoes are tender. And if you want to spare yourself a greasy mess, you can cook the bacon in the microwave too. Just cover a plate with paper towel & lay down bacon strips. Cover with paper towel & microwave for 3-4 min. until crispy. I omit the spinach from this recipe & use it for a salad instead! We'd rather eat it fresh, than wilty. :)
