Instant Pot Instructions

Add the onion, cabbage, sweet potato, sausage, salt, and stock to a 6-quart pressure cooker.
Secure the lid, select the manual setting, and set it to high pressure for 5 minutes.
When the pressure cooker timer is done, quick release the pressure.
Uncover, add the vinegar, and stir. Taste, adding additional salt if desired.

Crockpot Instructions

Add the onion, cabbage, sweet potato, sausage, salt, and stock to a 6-quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
Uncover, add the vinegar, and stir. Taste, adding additional salt and top with green onion if desired.

Stove Top Instructions

Add the onion, cabbage, sweet potato, sausage, salt, and stock to a Dutch oven or large pot.
Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Cook until the potatoes and cabbage are tender, about 25-35 minutes.
Uncover, add the vinegar, and stir. Taste, adding additional salt and green onion if desired.

Notes

I used Teton Water Ranch Polish Sausage for this recipe.

Precooked chicken sausage will work in place of the polish sausage. The flavor won’t be quite as deep, but it will still be tasty!

Look for a small head of purple cabbage for this recipe. If all you can find is a large head, and you don’t think you’ll use what’s left, ask your grocer to cut it in half for you.

Russet potato would work in place of sweet potato.
