We lived in rural PA and each summer we would go to the local county fair.

We kids wanted cotton candy, and a candied apple.
My dad, who rarely drank, would have a beer.

My mom always had a hot dog on a roll with sauerkraut on top ...
and maybe a tiny bit of mustard.

That's what we called it when I was a kid. It is one of my ole boy's favorites. I use "hot Links" (AKA polish sausage) with kraut, small whole new potatoes, with skin halfway removed, put in baking dish sprayed with Pam. Add some shredded cabbage, about equal to 1/4 of kraut: hint from French cookbook, cuts a little of the sour taste. Put in a little water, cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees 45 mins to 1 hour, stirring once or twice while cooking. Uncover, let cook till looks ready.- about 10 mins.

I usually have navy beans cooked to serve with this, also cornbread and beet pickles or chopped tomato.

We eat this fairly often because it is my husband's fav. I like it because it is easy and cheap! If it's too salty for you, rinse the kraut before cooking.

And yes, some good ole yaller mustard on the side!

needs to simmer for at least 20 minutes and be allowed to cool to room temp before heating to serve. This infuses the other ingredients with a bit of tartness that is especially good in potatoes and pork.
