Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) smoked sausage, sliced (e.g., kielbasa or bratwurst)

3 medium potatoes, diced (about 1.5 lbs)

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 medium onion, diced

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing and dicing the potatoes into small cubes. Chop the bell peppers, onion, and spinach. Slice the sausage into half-moon shapes.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Combine in the Crockpot: In the crockpot, layer the diced potatoes, sautéed veggies, and sliced sausage.

        Season and Add Liquids: Sprinkle the thyme, paprika, black pepper, and salt over the contents. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and drizzle apple cider vinegar on top.

          Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot and set it to low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours. The potatoes should be tender and the sausage heated through.

            Add Spinach: About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, stir in the chopped spinach. Cover and let the spinach wilt into the mixture.

              Serve: Once cooked, give the hash a gentle stir to combine all the flavors. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
