FAQ
Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen hash browns?
Yes. Use about 1½ cups of peeled and diced potatoes cut into small pieces so they cook evenly in the slow cooker.
What kind of sausage works best?
Smoked sausage, kielbasa, turkey sausage, or even spicy andouille all work well. Choose whichever sausage flavor you prefer.
Can I make this recipe without a slow cooker?
Yes. Combine the ingredients in a covered skillet or pot and simmer on the stovetop for about 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely. Bell peppers, carrots, green beans, or corn are all good additions and make the meal even more filling.
How should leftovers be stored?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
