Time 3h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced (four if you are a garlic lover)
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
ground black pepper, to taste
3 potatoes, peeled and diced (try to use a waxy potato like Yukon gold (russets will disintegrate in the baking process)
1 (16 ounce) bag sauerkraut, from the deli aisle (not canned please)
1 lb beef kielbasa, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (two if you're an insane sausage lover)

Steps:

  • Put the cold butter in a cold pan with the diced onion, and slowly bring to a simmer on medium heat.
  • This brings out the sweetness of the onions.

  • Add minced garlic and simmer 2 more minutes.
  • Add next 3 ingredients.
  • Combine with the sauerkraut (undrained and not rinsed), kielbasa and potatoes.

  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Before baking, brush the buns with melted butter to give them a golden brown crust.
