🥔 Slow Cooker Amish Kielbasa Potatoes

📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Layer the potatoes
   Place baby potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of a 5–6 quart slow cooker. Halve larger ones for even cooking.
2. Add the kielbasa
   Scatter sliced kielbasa over the potatoes, letting pieces nestle between gaps.
3. Season
   Sprinkle onion soup mix evenly over everything.
4. Add butter
   Dot the top with butter pieces so they melt and baste as it cooks.
5. Add broth
   Pour chicken broth around the edges, creating a shallow layer of liquid without washing off the seasoning.
6. Cook
   Cover and cook:
   • LOW: 6–7 hours
   • HIGH: 3–4 hours
     Potatoes should be fork‑tender, kielbasa hot and juicy.
7. Stir & season
   Gently stir from the bottom to coat everything in the buttery, savory juices. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve
   Spoon hot portions straight from the slow cooker, making sure each serving gets plenty of the flavorful broth.

✨ Rustic, hearty, and effortless—this dish is comfort food at its best.
