Grilled Kielbasa with Warm Potato Salad

4.3

(10)

This is a great excuse to get outside and grill—and an even better excuse to have smoky kielbasa for dinner. A vinegary potato salad adds a welcome note of acidity while making this a meal in itself.

Cooks' note:

Kielbasa can be grilled in a hot lightly oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over medium-high heat.
