Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Pour the canned diced tomatoes (with juice) and chicken broth over the vegetables. Stir to combine.

Add smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 7

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.

Step 8

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the potatoes are tender and the sausages are cooked through.
