This One-Pot Polish Sausage, Sauerkraut & Potatoes recipe is a quick, hearty weeknight dinner that delivers big on old-world flavor with modern convenience. Smoky sausage, tangy sauerkraut, and tender potatoes come together in one pot—ready in under an hour, no fuss required!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound kielbasa or Polish sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4 medium), cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 (16-ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained but not rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add sliced onion and sauté until translucent, 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in caraway seeds and paprika. Toast for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add potatoes and sauerkraut. Stir gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and add bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove bay leaves, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot. Optional: top with sour cream or whole grain mustard.

Notes

For a lighter version, use turkey sausage. To make vegetarian, use plant-based sausage and vegetable broth. Fresh sauerkraut works great—just don’t rinse it unless you're reducing sodium. This dish reheats well and tastes even better the next day!
