6 medium gold potatoes, cut into large chunks
16 oz sauerkraut, drained
1 ½ lbs Polish sausage, sliced
½ cup chicken broth
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Layer the Crockpot
Begin by placing the sauerkraut at the bottom of the crockpot. This helps to flavor everything above it and absorbs the juices as it cooks.
Layer the potato chunks next, followed by the sliced Polish sausage. The order of layering ensures that the flavors meld well as the heat comes from the bottom.
Step 2: Mix the Broth
In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, caraway seeds, and bay leaf. These spices will infuse the broth with additional flavors that are characteristic of Polish cuisine.
Pour the seasoned broth mixture over the potatoes, sausage, and sauerkraut in the crockpot. This liquid will steam up during cooking, tenderizing the potatoes and sausage while enhancing the sauerkraut.
Step 3: Season
Sprinkle salt and pepper across the top of the ingredients, adjusting the amount to suit your taste preferences.
Step 4: Cook
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on high for 4 hours. This duration is typically sufficient for the potatoes to become tender and the flavors to integrate fully.
Step 5: Serve
