• Add about 1 ½ tbsp. salt to the boiling water.
• Press about 1/3 of the batter through a spaetzle maker or strainer.

GERMAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large casserole dish with a lid, layer the ingredients in this order - 3 dabs of butter, potatoes, onions, sauerkraut, salt and pepper, sausage.
• You can half everything and make two "stacks" of layers as well, if you prefer. Make sure you end with sausage on top.
• Push ingredients down, if necessary, to compress and fit into your dish.
• Bake until the potatoes are tender - I usually go for an hour and fifteen minutes for perfect potato tenderness for my family.
• Remove from the oven and serve.
• This dish is wonderful with home-made bread.
