Ingredients

1 lb smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into rounds

1 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

3 cups baby potatoes, chopped into bite-sized chunks

2 cups sauerkraut, drained (not rinsed)

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp caraway seeds (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear sausage slices until browned, then remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add onions and cook until softened and golden.
Add potatoes and enough water to just cover them. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until fork-tender.
Stir in sauerkraut and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Return sausage to the skillet. Add heavy cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and caraway seeds. Stir gently to combine.
Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
