| Unsalted butter | 4 tablespoons | Cut into small pieces |

👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Add the Potatoes
Place the baby potatoes in the bottom of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, arranging them in an even layer. If any potatoes are larger, cut them in half for even cooking.
Step 2: Add the Kielbasa
Spread the sliced kielbasa over the potatoes, distributing it evenly throughout the slow cooker.
Step 3: Season
Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes and sausage.
Step 4: Add the Butter
Scatter the butter pieces across the top so they’ll melt into the ingredients as everything cooks.
Step 5: Pour in the Broth
Slowly pour the chicken broth around the sides of the slow cooker to help keep the seasoning in place while adding moisture.
Step 6: Cook
Cover with the lid and cook until the potatoes are tender.
- LOW: 6–7 hours
- HIGH: 3–4 hours
Step 7: Stir and Serve
Gently stir everything together, coating the potatoes and kielbasa in the buttery cooking juices. Taste and season with salt and black pepper if needed. Serve hot with plenty of the flavorful broth spooned over each serving.
✨ This easy slow cooker meal is rich, comforting, and packed with hearty flavor, making it a delicious choice for busy days or cozy family dinners.
