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)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds and set aside.
Step 2
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. If the potatoes are large, quarter them for even cooking.
Step 3
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Pour the chicken broth evenly over the layers.
Step 8
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours or on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 9
Stir the ingredients gently before serving to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
