How to Make Kielbasa and Potatoes in the Crockpot

• Step 1 – In a 6-quart crock pot, combine the sliced kielbasa sausage, pre-diced potatoes, diced onion, and minced garlic.

• Step 2 – In a separate bowl, whisk together the broth, Dijon mustard, honey, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

• Step 3 – Pour the broth mixture over the kielbasa and potatoes in the crock pot, stirring gently to distribute the liquid evenly.

• Step 4 – Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have blended together.

Expert Tip

• Frozen Potatoes – Ore-Ida Diced Hash Brown Potatoes is what I used for this recipe or Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes will work great as well.  
• Fresh Potatoes – If you want to use fresh potatoes, dice them into 1/2-inch cubes and increase the cooking time by 1-2 hours on low or 30-60 minutes on high.
• Bite-Size Pieces – We recommend to cut the kielbasa in about the same size pieces. This helps to cook them evenly or makes it easy to serve.
