From my childhood I remember eating sauerkraut with only potatoes and grease... Not so fancy, and really NOT loving it!
Until my mom discovered a different way of serving it and since then I've been enjoying sauerkraut more and more.
Watch and learn to prepare sauerkraut the way my mom has learnt me.

What You Need for This Dish:

1 a package of sauerkraut contains 0,5 kg
2 bags of instant mashed potatoes (per bag you need to add 0,5 liter boiled water
3 1 large hand of raisins
4 butter to grease the dishpan
5 1 can of pineapple pieces (also about 0,5 kg)
6 1 smoked sausage
7 curry powder

(these are the packages as they are available in the Netherlands, try to get about the same content if you use other packages)

The Sauerkraut:

Open the can with pineapple pieces and pour the juice in the small pan.
Add the sauerkraut, and put the pan on the stove.
Once the juice/water boils put the stove on low heat and let it boil for 5 min.

The Mashed Potatoes:

In this case you need to add water ánd milk according to the package of the instant version.
Since I am allergic to milk I only add water, the same amount as the milk and water would be together.
So I boil 1 liter water and add half of it to my measuring bowl.
I add the instant powder, mix and let it sit for a while.
In the mean time I grease the dish pan.

The Smoked Sausage:

I don't know if you ever had a change to eat it but I love it!
Especially the ones HEMA sells, so if you visit the Netherlands you definitely need to visit a HEMA for their ROOKWORST.
Of course this sausage doesn't taste the same, but is also very good.
I slice it the way the picture shows and usually end up eating the leftover part....

Also pre-heat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius / 356 Fahrenheit.

Filling the Dishpan:

1st layer: mashed potatoes
2nd layer: sauerkraut, pineapple pieces and raisins
3rd layer: mashed potatoes
4th layer: sliced smoked sausage & curry powder

About the 2nd layer:
Once the sauerkraut has boiled for 5 min. I pour off the juice/water it boiled in and pour it in the measuring bowl. I add enough water to get to half a liter and make the second bag of mashed potatoes with it. 

The Magic:

After you've prepared the dish, put it in the preheated oven for 30 min.
After that, serve and enjoy your meal.
