Ingredients

  • 3 pounds potatoes (about 6 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 jalapeno peppers, sliced and seeded
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 medium sweet red peppers, halved and cut into 1-inch strips
  • 2 medium sweet yellow or orange peppers, halved and cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 5 Italian sausage links (4 ounces each)
  • Chopped fresh basil, optional

Directions

  1. Place the first seven ingredients in a 6-qt. slow cooker; toss to combine. Top with sweet peppers and onion.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown sausages on all sides; place over vegetables. Cook, covered, on low until potatoes are tender, 5-6 hours.
  3. Remove sausages; cut diagonally into 2- to 3-in. pieces. Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon; serve with sausage. If desired, sprinkle with basil.
Peppers (Hot)
Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
