I precooked my sliced unpeeled potatoes with skins in microwave on my potatoe setting even though I had then sliced in a dish with 1/4 cup of water. Undercooked potatoes in my home don't go over well. I doubled the butter for the bottom because I know it is not healthier but because it adds great moister to potatoes and I didn't want this dish to be dry. I sliced my onions with my P C slicer getting the onions bare thin which I believe had a impact on the success of the dish. I use venison/beef bologna. I also added a "beefed up" fresh ground pepper to dish. I was very impressed at quickness, ease with kids helping and then the taste. I put on a dollap of sour cream on my serving. Great - 5 stars -
I haven't had ring bologna in ages, so this recipe got me craving it. I made half the recipe with the bologna and followed the directions. It was excellent, and thanks for the homemade bread suggestion. Truly a comfort meal and the leftovers were even better. This is a keeper Kitcharen! Made and enjoyed for PAC Spring '09. -
This was an easy, tasty meal. I used kielbasa. I wasnt sure if I was supposed to drain the sauerkraut, so I only drained about half the liquid. It turned out great. I had to cook mine about 1-1/2 hours for the potatoes to be done. Thanks, Kitcharen for a good meal. Sue
