Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound smoked sausage or kielbasa
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (red or gold)
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds and set aside.
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. If the potatoes are large, quarter them for even cooking.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the sausage slices for 3-4 minutes, or until lightly browned. This step is optional but enhances flavor.
In the crock pot, layer the halved baby potatoes, sliced onion, and browned sausage.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried parsley. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the ingredients in the crock pot.
Pour the chicken broth evenly over the layers.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours or on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir the ingredients gently before serving to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
