Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Drain the 1 lb sauerkraut and rinse briefly under cold water; squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the 1 lb sausages into 1/2-inch rounds. Peel and dice the 1 medium onion. Scrub the 1.5 lb potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks.

  3. Step 3

    Melt the 2 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add the sausages and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in the sauerkraut, potatoes, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  6. Step 6

    Cover and cook over low heat until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot, with extra butter or mustard if desired.
