Tips for preparation

If possible, you should prepare the fried onions and the potatoes at the same time so that both are ready at the same time.

You should fry the fried onions very slowly over medium heat, this is how they turn out best.

If you like, you can let the ribs sit warm in the sauerkraut for about 20 minutes instead of frying them.

I like to use cream for particularly creamy mashed potatoes. If you want something a little lighter, you can replace the cream with milk.

Can you prepare and save the dish?

The dish tastes best freshly prepared. However, you can prepare the sauerkraut.

You can also prepare the mashed potatoes and reheat them later in a pot or in the microwave.

If possible, you should prepare the fried onions and ribs fresh.

How long does the dish last?

The dish will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.

To heat, heat the sauerkraut and the mashed potatoes in a pot.

If the mashed potatoes have become too thick, you can make it creamier again with a little milk.

Variations of the dish

Instead of stick ribs, you can use scallops or smoked pork ribs.

Alternatively, you can also serve bratwursts or wieners with the sauerkraut and mashed potatoes.

Serving suggestion with smoked pork meat instead of ribs.

How to make ribs with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes

For the sauerkraut:

Place the sauerkraut in a medium saucepan, add 200 ml water and heat slowly over medium heat.

For the mashed potatoes:

Peel the potatoes and halve or quarter them depending on their size.

Place in a large pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes.
Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to the boil.

Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are cooked through and tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Then pour off the water. Then add the butter, cream (or milk) and nutmeg and puree with a hand mixer until smooth.

This takes about 3 to 4 minutes.

A notice: Don’t worry, it won’t be sticky, it will be really creamy ????

If necessary, season with a little salt.

For the fried onions:

Peel the onions, halve them lengthwise and then cut them crosswise into thin strips.

Heat oil in a pan and add the onions.

Season with 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper.

Now slowly fry the onions over medium heat.

A notice: Slowly braising the onions can take around 20 minutes. It is therefore advisable to prepare the onions at the same time as the potatoes.

For the ribs:

Heat the oil in a pan and slowly fry the ribs on both sides over medium heat.

A notice: The ribs are already pre-cooked and just need to be heated and they should get a little color very slightly. Alternatively, you can add the ribs to the sauerkraut and heat them together with the sauerkraut.

Arranging and serving:

Distribute a portion of mashed potatoes and sauerkraut on each plate.

Then add one rib each.

Add fried onions on top and serve with a dollop of mustard.

Bon appetit!
