Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 pounds russet potatoes (peeled, sliced into 3/4-inch-thick rounds, and rinsed thoroughly)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup half-and-half (warmed)
1 teaspoons salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp dijon mustard
25 oz sauerkraut (drained)
1 cup apple cider
2 bay leaves
2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds (optional)
salt and pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
Salt and pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the potatoes in a large pot or dutch oven and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine sauerkraut, apple cider, bay leaves, chopped apples, and cumin seeds. Bring to a boil and let simmer with the lid on for 15 minutes until the apples. Season with salt and pepper.
  • When the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Process the potatoes with a potato ricer into a large bowl or use a potato masher for chunkier mashed potatoes. Stir in the melted butter, warm half-and-half, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and Dijon.
  • For the topping, heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them while stirring constantly until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Take them off the heat and let them cool, then toss them with the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Transfer the apple sauerkraut into a 13 by 9-inch baking dish, spread mashed potatoes on top, and sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes, followed by the breadcrumbs.
  • Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and the breadcrumbs are crisp and browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
