Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound smoked Polish sausage sliced into rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 cups sauerkraut drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
  • 1 cup chicken broth or water
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tongs
  • Pot for boiling potatoes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Cook the sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced Polish sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté the onions and garlic: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown slightly.
  4. Combine the ingredients: Return the sausage to the skillet, then add the sauerkraut, caraway seeds (if using), black pepper, and smoked paprika. Pour in the chicken broth or water, and stir to combine.
  5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
