Instructions

Cook the Sausage – Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables – In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and caraway seeds, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Simmer the Potatoes – Pour in the chicken broth, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Add Sauerkraut & Cream – Stir in the drained sauerkraut, Dijon mustard, and heavy cream. Return the sausage to the skillet and let everything simmer for another 5 minutes.
Melt the Cheese – Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the skillet, cover, and let it melt for 2 minutes. Stir gently to combine.

Serve & Enjoy – Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot!

Notes

For extra tang, add a splash of sauerkraut juice or a bit of apple cider vinegar.
Swap Swiss cheese for cheddar if you prefer a milder flavor.
