    My family makes it exactly the same way you do except we use beer instead of water. And always pork and mashed potatoes! You just made me so hungry! Our family is of Italian and German decent but being from the Pittsburg area we had almost every other European ethnic backgrounds living as neighbors. So we ate alot of Serbian and Polish food along with Irish dishes. Coming from an immigrant city we never just ate Italian food. As a child we would eat at our friends house for dinner and be initiated into the dishes of their culture! No wonder I was a heavy kid ! Lol

    I know why you;re smaking your lips cause of the sauerkraut. I've made mine in a pressure cooker where the lid got rusty around the steel inside – don't know why. I've had the dish that you presented but butter on the potatoes. This is one of my favorite dishes. I tuned in to find out your cooking time on the sausage and agree that I like the kraut softer where it turns abit off color, more tan looking. I use the leftovers to put on my hot dogs later in the week. Thanks for your information

    Yes, there are few foods better than fresh kielbasa. I much prefer it over smoked, precooked kielbasa. My sister and I are avid sausage makers and would always make fresh kielbasa to celebrate our dad's birthday. It was one of his favorite foods.

    There is no "poo" in kapusta. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I make my kielbasa like you do except I add a quarter cup of barley and another half bottle of beer (one and a half in all, no water). If you have leftovers, heat it up the next day in a sauce pan and it will take all the crunch out of the sauerkraut.

    I made this tonight! My husband and I loved it. The potatoes were fantastic with the sauerkraut juice on top.
    I used Boar's Head kielbasa (probably not "real" kielbasa but pretty darn good) and 2 cups chicken broth. I didn't use sugar or a pork steak. The potatoes were made from scratch.

    My mother in law used to make Polish sausage, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes all mixed together with lots of real butter in a crock pot. She and my father in law were both German. I loved that meal!

    My mom would make potatoes sauerkraut and smash them together and serve it with a really nice true Kielbasa that she would boil with the potatoes. She is dutch and we would have that on Mondays and use the leftover gravy from Sunday dinner.
