Savory Polish Sausage with Sauerkraut and Potatoes

This Polish Sausage, Sauerkraut, and Potatoes dish is a timeless Eastern European comfort meal built on simple, filling ingredients. Cooking everything in layers allows the sauerkraut to act as a flavorful base that gently steams the potatoes, while the smoky Polish sausage releases its rich juices to season the entire dish. A touch of caraway seed brings a warm, earthy note that balances perfectly with the sauerkraut’s tang.

Polish Sausage, Sauerkraut, and Potatoes

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • Polish sausage, cut into large chunks – 1½ lbs
  • Sauerkraut (with juice) – 16 oz
  • Gold potatoes, cut into large pieces – 5–6 medium

Liquids & Seasonings:

  • Chicken broth – ½ cup
  • Caraway seeds – 1 tsp
  • Bay leaf – 1
  • Salt and black pepper – to taste

Directions

Step 1: Build the Sauerkraut Layer
Spread the sauerkraut evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker. Keep the juices, as they add depth and a pleasant tang to the potatoes while cooking.

Step 2: Add Potatoes and Sausage
Place the chopped potatoes evenly over the sauerkraut. Arrange the Polish sausage pieces on top.

Step 3: Prepare the Broth Mixture
In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, caraway seeds, and bay leaf. Pour this mixture evenly over the sausage and potatoes, then season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Cook Slowly
Cover and cook on HIGH for about 4 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the sausage is fully heated.

Step 5: Combine and Serve
Remove the bay leaf. Gently mix everything together so the potatoes and sausage are coated in the sauerkraut and savory juices. Serve warm.
