Sauerkraut and potatoes
Components:
- One pound of peeled and diced potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work nicely)
- One 14-ounce can of drained sauerkraut (or around two cups of homemade sauerkraut)
- One chopped onion
- Two tablespoons of butter or olive oil
- One teaspoon of optional caraway seeds
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Guidelines:
Prepare the potatoes:
- Heat salted water in a big pot until it boils. Cook the diced potatoes for ten to fifteen minutes, or until they are soft. After draining, set away.
Cook the Onion:
- Heat the butter or olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until it is transparent and starting to caramelize.
Include Sauerkraut:
- Add the caraway seeds (if using) and the drained sauerkraut to the skillet and stir. Allow the flavors to combine by cooking for around five minutes.
Mix:
- To the skillet, add the cooked potatoes. Combine all ingredients with a gentle stir, adding salt and pepper to taste. Cook until well heated, about 5 more minutes.
Serve:
- When ready to serve, remove from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Advice:
- For additional taste and protein, you can add cooked sausage or bacon.
- This meal goes nicely with poultry or pork.
