• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 1 Bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch thick rounds and set aside.

Step 2

Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water to reduce its sourness. Squeeze out excess water and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and dice the onion. Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.

Step 4

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced kielbasa to the pot and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the kielbasa and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the sauerkraut to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 9

Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, caraway seeds, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir well.

Step 10

Return the browned kielbasa to the pot and gently mix into the sauerkraut and potato mixture.

Step 11

Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 12

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot as a standalone meal or alongside crusty bread for a satisfying dish.
