Notes

You can peel the potatoes or leave the peel on whatever you prefer.

You can use frozen diced hash browns but the cooking time will change a bit to 4-5 hours on low.

Chicken bouillon base or granulated bouillon can also be used.

Browning the sausages first for some color is optional.

You can use whatever cheese you prefer.
