Slow-Cooker Sausages With Sauerkraut and Potatoes
Marcus Nilsson
How to Make It
Step 1
In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, mix together the potatoes, sauerkraut, onion, broth, wine, caraway seeds, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Nestle the bratwurst in the vegetables.
Step 2
Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours (this will shorten total recipe time).
Step 3
Sprinkle the bratwurst, potatoes, and sauerkraut with the parsley and serve with the toast, butter, and mustard.

Made this today. Used only the 1/2 cup of broth because we did not have any dry white wine and Idahos because that'w what I had. We really like this. It's my recipe from now on for sausage, kraut, and potatoes, which I had always made using only those 3 ingredients. I have found the the sausage makes or breaks it, and use only Eckrich Smoked Sausage or Kielbasa. Others I've tried tasted awful. Thanks for a great recipe.

Made this meal yesterday and it was horrible-- the consistency was fine, not too liquid-y or dry-- but the taste was appalling (the vegetarian sausage from Trader Joe's probably didn't help either). We threw it out and had to get take-out instead. Bummer because I love sauerkraut and potatoes :(

My husband LOVED this meal, but I thought it was just okay. Based on feedback from the other reviewers, I left out the wine and added a 12oz dark beer instead. I think it was a little TOO liquidy. Next time, I'd probably leave out the wine, double the amount of chicken broth, and add a little less than 1/2 a beer. The pumpernickel bread really makes this meal, so make sure to buy a fresh baked loaf!

Last week I made this dish for my husband and myself. We loved it. Sausage and sauerkraut quality make all the difference. I could stand a little more liquid in it, but I'm beginning to think that age is making my pot run hot. This recipe is easy, comforting, and delicious.

I like this recipe, but I did change it a little. I used polish sausage instead of brats. Also, I didn't have any broth or dry white wine on hand, so I used chicken stock and my favorite beer instead. I didn't drain the sauerkraut, just used a fork and pressed it gently against the inside of the jar as I was scooping it out. Added a little dried thyme too. It turned out well!

This recipe was good, but could use some work. The fact that the sauerkraut was drained left for very little liquid in the pot. If I made it again, I would definitely beef up the liquid by pouring in a beer.
