Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place peeled and cubed potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Step 2: While potatoes cook, heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced smoked sausage and cook for 5 minutes until lightly browned, then set aside.
  3. Step 3: Drain potatoes, return to pot, and add drained sauerkraut and chicken broth. Mash vigorously until smooth, adding more broth if needed to reach a thick but spreadable consistency.
  4. Step 4: Stir in cooked sausage and heat through for 3 minutes until warmed throughout.
