It was KDTH Oktoberfest today on "Cookin' with Kaye", my weekly cooking show you can hear Friday's at 8:20am on AM1370 KDTH. "Polish Sausage, Sauerkraut & Potatoes". OMG was this so good! And, everyone here at the radio station loved it! It's so easy to make too. Get yourself down to Cremer's Grocery on Rhomberg avenue in Dubuque and grab just about everything you need to make this recipe. Seriously, 8 ingredients. Cremer's has a great variety of sausage you can choose from. I went with Hautly's Smoke Polish Sausage. 2 1/2 lbs. for $19.99. I also grab a bag of Willie's Sauerkraut, $3.99. You can find some little yellow potatoes there as well. I stopped at the grocery store and grabbed Yukon Gold potatoes. These are the variety to use, as they stand up to the heat of the slow cooker for many hours. Russet potatoes would likely fall apart. Go with a good firm potato! You'll also need some caraway seed, chicken stock and a bay leaf. Salt and pepper if you'd like. This tasted so authentic, good old fashion German food! Usually, there's some "Cookin' wtih Kaye" leftovers, but, today, there's not much left at all. Like I said, everyone who tried the dish, loved it! Another good recipe to make up for your friends to enjoy while watching sports! I'm for sure giving this recipe a big "2" thumbs up! Enjoy. Prost!
