A hearty and comforting slow cooker dish featuring swamp potatoes, andouille sausage, and fresh corn, perfect for cozy dinners with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds swamp potatoes (Yukon Gold or Red), washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 12 ounces andouille sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears) or thawed frozen corn
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Wash and cube the swamp potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Slice the andouille sausage into 1/2-inch rounds. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. If using fresh corn, cut kernels off the cob.
  2. Optional: In a skillet over medium heat, sear the sausage slices for about 3-4 minutes until lightly browned to add depth of flavor.
  3. Add potatoes, sausage, onion, garlic, and corn to the crockpot, layering evenly.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth, ensuring it just covers the ingredients.
  5. Sprinkle smoked paprika, dried thyme, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper over the top. Stir gently to distribute spices without breaking up the potatoes.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, avoiding lifting the lid too often.
  7. After 5 hours, test a potato piece with a fork; it should be tender but hold its shape. If not, cook for another 30 minutes.
  8. Stir in heavy cream and softened butter gently to create a creamy sauce coating all ingredients.
  9. Cook uncovered for another 15-20 minutes to thicken the sauce and blend flavors.
  10. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving.

Notes

Browning the sausage before slow cooking adds a smoky caramelization that enhances flavor but can be skipped for convenience. Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold to prevent mushiness. Add cream and butter near the end to avoid curdling. Stir gently to keep potatoes intact. Prep ingredients the night before for easy assembly.
