German potato salad with sausage

This is yet another taste of home slow cooker meal. I forgot to take a picture. This having DH cook is making me forget to take pictures. It was made with sauerkraut, so I was pretty Leary of it, but it was delicious. It originally called for polish sausage. Brandon couldn't make German food using Polish sausage so we used Bratwurst. It was so good that I even had seconds.

Ingredients

• 8 bacon strips, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 pound Bratwurst (we could have used a bit more for the amount of potatoes.)
• 2 pounds medium red potatoes, cut into chunks
• 1 can cream of potato soup
• 1 cup sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels. In the drippings saute onion for 1 minute. Add sausage; cook until lightly browned. Add potatoes; cook 2 minutes longer.
2. Drain; transfer sausage mixture to slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the soup, sauerkraut, water, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Pour over sausage mixture. Sprinkle with bacon.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until potatoes are tender.
