- 1 (16 oz) jar sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced

How to Make Polish Sausage with Sauerkraut and Potatoes
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil (or butter) over medium heat.
- Add the sliced Polish sausage and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Once browned, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Onion and Garlic
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring to combine.
Step 3: Cook the Potatoes
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are starting to become tender.
Step 4: Add Sauerkraut and Broth
- Add the drained and rinsed sauerkraut to the skillet with the potatoes, along with the chicken or vegetable broth and optional caraway seeds.
- Stir to combine, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully tender.
Step 5: Return the Sausage to the Skillet
- Return the browned sausage to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sausage to warm through.
Step 6: Serve
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
