Ingredients
Here’s how to create this soul-warming dish:
1 package of Polish sausage (1 to 1.5 pounds), sliced for easy serving
16 ounces of sauerkraut, drained to preference
6 small potatoes, each lovingly quartered
A pinch of caraway seeds for that authentic touch
1 bay leaf for its aromatic magic
1/2 cup of chicken or vegetable broth for moisture and flavor
Salt and pepper, tailored to your taste
Preparation
Begin by layering the sauerkraut, followed by the potatoes, and then the sausage in a greased slow cooker. (Pro Tip: For an extra depth of flavor, consider browning the sausage before adding it in.)
Pour in the broth, sprinkle the caraway seeds, and tuck the bay leaf amidst the layers. Season with a generous hand.
Seal the slow cooker’s lid and set it to cook on low for a tender 6-8 hours, or on high for a quicker 3-4 hours.
For an indulgent twist, sprinkle some shredded cheese over the top before serving!
Serve this dish piping hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. The melding of the juicy sausages, the sauerkraut’s bite, and the potatoes’ comforting presence makes for a hearty meal that’ll embrace you with its warmth and rustic charm.
