Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links smoked sausages
- 16 ounces sauerkraut
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the smoked sausages into 2-inch pieces and set them aside.
Wash the baby potatoes and slice them in half. If using larger potatoes, cut them into 1-inch chunks.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the halved baby potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to lightly brown them.
Drain the sauerkraut and spread it evenly over the potato mixture in the skillet.
Nestle the sausage pieces on top of the sauerkraut.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth evenly over the dish.
Cover the skillet or casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the lid or foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to lightly brown the top.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting dish!
