German Kadufflekraut
- 10 pounds White Potatoes
- 16 ounces, weight Sweet Caraway Sauerkraut
- 2 pounds Very Lean Meat Market Bacon Chopped
- 3 cups Sweet Onion, Chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Flour
- Salt And Pepper
- Peel, slice and boil potatoes until done (depending on the size of the potatoes, this may take anywhere from 15-30 minutes but they should be fork tender when done).
- Drain, saving 2 cups of the potato water.
- Set potatoes aside in a large bowl until they are ready to be mashed.
- Set the potato water aside as well.
- Cook sauerkraut for 15 minutes over medium heat until heated through.
- Drain and add to the potatoes.
- Chop bacon in small pieces and fry over medium heat until almost done.
- Then add sweet chopped onion.
- Fry until onions are clear.
- Drain all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- Add onion and bacon pieces to the pot with the potatoes and sauerkraut.
- Start mashing, mashing, mashing.
- Add bacon grease (for best flavor), flour, and season with salt and fresh pepper and keep mashing to meld the flavors together.
- The longer you mash, the more flavorful this dish will get.
- If its too thick, add some of the reserved potato water.
- You can serve this right away while warm with homemade warm bread and butter or heat it up later in the oven.
- Its good with a beer, too!
