My recipe for Grandma's Pork with a Twist is as follows:

Grandma's Pork with a Twist

In a crock pot add 1 bag of sauerkraut, add 1 c. brown sugar, 2 apples chopped with the peel still on, 2 T. black pepper and 2 T. salt (I prefer kosher), mix together with your hands. Place a boneless pork loin on the top, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, turn to low for another 4 hours. The pork with be tender, and sauerkraut delicious. *If you don't have time to adjust the heat, cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Make your version of mashed potatoes. In a large stock pot boil 8 russet potatoes (cut into quarters) until tender, using my hand mixer I mix until mashed, add 1/2 stick butter, salt and pepper to taste, 2/3 c. light sour cream, enough milk to thin to desired consistency.

On a pretty platter plate your mashed potatoes top with the sauerkraut mixture and place slices of the cooked pork roast. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and enjoy.

If you have any leftover mashed potatoes, make some potato pancakes the next day. Make small hamburger  shaped looking patties out of the potato mixture, dip in a mixture of 2 eggs and 1/4 c. milk, then dip in a mixture of 2 c. italian breadcrumbs and 1/4 c. parmesan cheese,  melt 1 T. butter in a saucepan over medium high heat, add potato patties and cook until golden  brown on one side, gently turn and continue to cook until golden brown on second side. Serve with some cinnamon applesauce.

Hope you try this recipe and enjoy it.
