## Instructions
1. **Layer it up**: In your Crockpot, layer the potatoes first, followed by onions and garlic, then the sauerkraut. Top with sliced sausage.
2. **Add liquid**: Pour chicken broth or water over the top. If using, sprinkle in the caraway seeds.
3. **Cook low and slow**: Cover and cook on **LOW for 6–8 hours** or **HIGH for 3–4 hours**, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are beautifully blended.
