Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large pot, combine the 12 oz smoked pork sausages, 16 oz sauerkraut (drained and rinsed), 1 medium onion (sliced), 1 tsp caraway seeds, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup water, and salt to taste.
  2. Step 2: Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausages are cooked through and flavors are well combined.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, place the 4 medium potatoes (peeled and quartered) in a pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and serve alongside the sausage and sauerkraut.
