📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Wash and cut the baby potatoes in half. If they’re larger, quarter them for even cooking.

2. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

3. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

4. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the sliced onions for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring to avoid burning.

6. In the crock pot, combine the baby potatoes, smoked sausage, sautéed onions, and garlic.

7. Sprinkle the paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper evenly over the mixture.

8. Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients to add moisture and enhance the flavor.

9. Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

10. Before serving, sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

11. Serve warm as a stand-alone dish or pair with a side of greens or crusty bread for a complete meal.
