Slow Cooker Sausage and Potatoes

1 (1.5 lb) bag Little Potatoes (Terrific Trio or Baby Boomer) or Baby Dutch Yellow Potatoes**

1 small yellow onion, finely diced

1 (13 oz.) package fully-cooked smoked sausage, kielbasa, or turkey sausage, sliced

1 (10.5 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

Slightly rounded 1/4 tsp. cajun seasoning (more or less to taste)

1-1/2 to 2 tbsp. cornstarch

Salt to taste

Chopped parsley, if desired

Slice potatoes in half.  Place potatoes, onion, and sausage in a 6 qt. slow cooker.  Combine mushroom soup and cajun seasoning; add to slow cooker and stir.  Cover with lid and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until potatoes are tender.  

In a small bowl, mix 1-1/2 tbsp. of cornstarch with just enough cold water to make the mixture a liquid.  Add the cornstarch mixture to the slow cooker stirring well.  If sauce becomes too thick, add more water.  If sauce is too thin, add additional cornstarch/water.  Salt to taste and serve with chopped parsley, if desired.
