Sauerkraut and Bratwurst (Brats)

That must be the best known German dish. Some people think that Germans eat a lot of Sauerkraut, that is not true but it is truly on the menu.
In Norway it is eaten mostly with caraway seeds. While in Germany some use bay leafs, some caraway seed, some pineapple and others swear it has to be cooked with lard. Well, we like it without.
We need 1 can sauerkraut, 1 can pineapples, 1-2 brats per person, 3-4 potatoes, 1 onion, 1/2 cup of bacon bits. Salt, sugar, nutmeg, bay leafs (crushed), caraway seeds and oil.
Boil 4-5 potatoes for about 30 Minutes, then mash them with a little milk and butter.
Take a small can of sauerkraut and wash the kraut in a colander. This way it will not be for tart. Mince an onion and some bacon and fry them in 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Add the sauerkraut and 1/2 can of pineapple, juice and fruit. Simmer about 20 minutes. Season with salt, nutmeg, 2 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp bay leafs, 1/2 tsp caraway seeds. Fry cooked bratwurst (brats) until brown.
