Comments

For a special treat if you are serving a pork roast or chops, omit the salt and herbs chicken stock, but use sauerkraut juice and caraway seeds with a touch of brown sugar mixed into the juice. It is a favorite of my famiy!

Editors note: This recipe has so many variables in the quantities that this program can't handle using its doubling or tripleing function. You're on your own this time. If you do use that feature, it will only double the first of the to amounts (i.e. 12 - 16 potatoes) so go by that number.
