Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 14 ounces smoked sausage, such as kielbasa sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 10.5-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk whole or 2% milk works well
- nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing the slow cooker
Instructions
- Lightly grease the inside of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray or a little butter.
- Put the peeled, cubed russet potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker and spread them into an even layer.
- Scatter the sliced smoked sausage evenly over the potatoes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth and pourable.
- Pour the soup-and-milk mixture evenly over the sausage and potatoes, scraping every bit from the bowl.
- Gently stir everything once or twice so the sauce works down between the potatoes and sausage without overmixing.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.
- When the potatoes are tender, gently stir the sausage and potatoes so everything is coated in the creamy mushroom sauce, then taste and add salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve hot straight from the slow cooker with a vegetable, salad, bread, egg noodles, or rice.
Notes
Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator and use within a few days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave with a small splash of milk, stirring halfway through, or reheat gently in a saucepan with milk. To prepare ahead, keep peeled and cubed potatoes covered with cold water in the refrigerator and drain them well before assembling.
