THE ORIGINAL KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT
This is a family recipe passed down from my grandfather and my father who still make every New Year's Day. It's the best. Trust me, you'll love this recipe. It's original and kinda simple. It's 'old school.' Serve with Jewish rye bread, butter, and horseradish. A good side is mashed potatoes with cheese, milk, and butter to create a rich, creamy, tasty mashed potatoes to go with the dish.

- Pour the other can of potatoes with juice inches.
- Cut up meat into small chunks and put on top.

- I substitute large can of sauerkraut with my own homemade and substitute the potatoes with one quart jar of my canned potatoes with a little of juice.
Tips:
- When selecting kielbasa, look for a variety that is fully cooked and smoked. This will ensure that it is safe to eat and has a delicious flavor.
- To reduce the saltiness of the kielbasa, soak it in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Sauerkraut can be made from scratch or purchased pre-made. If you are making it from scratch, be sure to use a variety of cabbage, such as green cabbage, red cabbage, and savoy cabbage. This will give the sauerkraut a more complex flavor.
- When cooking the sauerkraut, be sure to add a variety of spices, such as caraway seeds, juniper berries, and bay leaves. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Kielbasa and sauerkraut can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or dumplings.
