Layered Potatoes with Sauerkraut | With Crispy Sausage

Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then cook them in their jackets in lightly salted water until tender, about 25-30 minutes. Once cooked, let them cool, peel them, and cut into 0.5 cm thick slices.

Melt 1 tablespoon of lard in a pan, add the finely chopped onion, and sauté until translucent. Add the squeezed and slightly chopped sauerkraut, season with sweet paprika and ground caraway, then sauté for 10 minutes. Thinly slice the lightly smoked sausage.

Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Grease a medium-sized baking tray or ovenproof dish with the remaining lard. Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
