Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, ~60 seconds.
Step 2
Slice kielbasa on the bias into 0.5-inch-thick rounds. Sear in batches without moving until edges brown, ~2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp butter and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Add sliced onion to the pan and cook, stirring often, until edges crisp and brown, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Warm sauerkraut and spaetzle in the skillet alongside the mushrooms and onion, stirring occasionally, until heated through, ~2 minutes.
Step 6
Divide mashed potatoes among plates. Top with sauerkraut, spaetzle with mushrooms and onions, and kielbasa. Serve with mustard on the side.
