Slow Cooker Potatoes Cabbage and Kielbasa is a one-pot meal full of great flavor!
I’ve been seeing so many recipes with cabbage in them with them because of the low carb craze that is going on. I added potatoes since I am not low carb so if you want to carbo load this recipe is for you!
This recipe turned out far better than I expected. The flavors completely meld together for a perfectly flavored meal. To make this recipe somewhat healthy I found a no nitrate kielbasa. I will be making this recipe again! I think it would be a great recipe for a potluck.
How to make this:
You will need these ingredients:
- Kielbasa sausage
- Russet potatoes
- Cabbage
- White onion
- Salt and pepper
- Dried thyme
- Chicken broth
That’s all you need for this simple meal. I love that it’s mostly fresh ingredients.
How long to cook:
This recipe needs enough time to let the potatoes soften. I cook this recipe for 6 hours on low.
This to me is a complete meal. You have your veggies, potatoes and meat in one pot! Just scoop into serving bowls when you arrive home.
I don’t cook much with cabbage but that is about to change. This meal was heavenly and wouldn’t be the same without the cabbage.
We loved this meal! Such a change from a shredded meat slow cooker recipe. The entire meal is flavored from the kielbasa and the potatoes and cabbage are very tender. I think you’ll love it! Have a great week.

A teaspoon of Thyme destroyed the first batch. Tried again sans the herb, it has great flavor
Sarah Olson says
Did you use leafy thyme or ground. Ground is very overpowering.
Pam says
Can you please add to typical serving size info in the recipe breakdown?
Thank you in advance
Wendy says
Can I exchange 5 spuds with a broken up had of cauliflower?
Sarah Olson says
I think that will work fine.
takia police says
what is the portion size for one person equal?
Sarah Olson says
About 1/8 of the recipe.
Hazel says
Can you add carrots in it
Sarah Olson says
That should work, usually carrots cook in the same amount of time as potatoes.

Try adding beer as the braising liquid, gives it a different “body” , but a nice standard recipe , also can add cabbage later in cooking for more bite , thanks for posting
Dee says
I added bacon & started the potatoes by cooking them in the bacon drippings. Added a nice additional layer of flavor. Beer wouldajso add a nice flavor but a dark beer.
