Sauerkraut and Smoked Sausage with Potatoes & Apples

Sauerkraut had never been one of my favorite dishes growing up.  But as I have gotten older, I have come to like and appreciate the benefits of it.  Especially when making my own and having all those probiotics to help with gut health.  I put this dish together for New Years day and it turned out very good.  I know it won’t be an only New Years day dish.  This one will go into my menu of dishes to make quite often.  Let me know what y’all think of my version.  Have a great day.

    Oh Greg, this recipe kicks, yum. I think I'd make the mash taters. No caraway. Happy New Year.

    This looks so good! I usually just throw my sausage, onion and shredded cabbage in a pan and fry it up. Really looking forward to your homesteading venture; wish you all the best with the new adventure!

  5. Brenda Jensen

    Looks scrumptious! I have also done this with pork chops, pork roast, different sausages have even used mashed potatoes instead of chopping them. Love it, especially with the apples. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year!

    You always have something wonderful to share with us from your kitchen! You inspire me to try new things and be a better cook. I love your tips and how you present things. Your Mom is a blessing and so much fun to watch, also! Thank you for bringing me into your kitchen family and I can’t wait to see the journey to Tennessee! We were just talking about how we would love to move there.

    Like your recipe, I never tried it with apples and apple juice. I will make it like that sometime. Looks good! I learned this trick from my Mom, I RINSE the sauerkraut in a large fine seive before I add it with the kolbassi or smoked sausage…..Yum! Rinsing the Sauerkraut gets rid of some of the tartness and sourness…I'm from Pennsylvania Dutch ( Amish ) country. Sauerkraut, potatoes, onions, and smoked sausages ( Kolbassi ) are popular here. I am sure they cook with apples and apple juice with their Kraut….😊👍 Yum!

    Only store bought Kraut we buy now is Aldi's Bavarian style, it doesn't have that super strong tartness that other brands have. Their red cabbage and apples is good too. Apparently this dish is actually a German NYE dinner, or with a pork roast. I didn't know till a few weeks ago. I like putting a little German mustard in ours. So yummy.

    Are you going to be close to your mother when you move to Tennessee? Only reason I was wondering I could not believe you had waited 7 years to see your mama and I hope you'll be closer to her that shocked me at Christmas.

  16. Beverly Abner

    Thank you so much for replying right back to me she is so sweet I love watching her and y'all seem so close I'm so happy to know that I'm in my 70s myself and if I didn't see my children at least four times a year I don't know what I would do they all live a good ways from me but I just wanted to know y'all seem so close I'm happy to know that this dish is wonderful my husband is going to love it I've never seen it cook like that.

    I need a electric skillet. That would be handy at our cabin in the woods.This recipe looks delicious!

  18. Laurice

    Using the apple juice and apple wedges sounds like a delicious way to add an interesting flavor and texture to a Sauerkraut recipe. A great way to Sweeten the Pot a little bit 😉! Thanks for sharing.

  22. Nancy Hafler

    That looks delicious! I'm going to make this and then keep it warm in a slow cooker to drive to my grandson and share ot with him.

    I love sauerkraut and sausage since a kid, but I absolutely would have to cut those spots out of the potatoes! Might cook soon! Good for colon too!
