Use Your Favorite Sauerkraut
We LOVE SnowFloss Kraut – If you buy the Polish Style it’s perfect. It has caraway seeds added to the sauerkraut which makes it even tastier! This brand comes in a glass jar and we love anything in a glass jar.
What type of Pork Roast to use?
Our favorite cut of meat for Pork and Sauerkraut Recipe would be a boneless pork loin roast. A fairly lean cut of meat and mild in flavor.
What to Serve with Pork Roast?
Mashed Potatoes! Yum, nothing is better with a juicy pork roast and sauerkraut than creamy mashed potatoes!
Yummy Mashed Potatoes – About an hour before the pork roast is finished cooking, start the mashed potatoes. Peel and cube your russet potatoes and cook in salt water for about 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain potatoes well and place back in the pan. Add whole milk, salted butter and a little bit of salt to the pan with the potatoes. Whip with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- 3 lb. russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1/2 or 3/4 cups milk
