Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound Kielbasa sausage, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Peeler
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • Mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. Place the cubed potatoes, sliced Kielbasa, and diced onion in a crockpot. Pour the chicken broth over the top.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Once the potatoes are cooked, add the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Stir the mixture until the cheese is melted and the ingredients are well combined.
  5. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!

Notes

For best results, peel and cube the potatoes to ensure even cooking. Slice the Kielbasa into bite-sized pieces for maximum flavor distribution. Adding the cheese, sour cream, and seasonings at the end prevents the cheese from becoming stringy or the sour cream from curdling. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all the flavors are evenly distributed. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
