It contains more Vitamin C than lemons.

They were just potatoes that were mashed and not “mashed potatoes”… It turned out to be everyones favorite kraut so far. The potatoes gave it a sharp flavor that balanced out the sweet green apples.

juniper berries are a super traditional route that will bear radical results! thanks for the kind comment!
Did you cook the potatoes prior to mashing them and adding to the brine?

My mom told me a similar story about growing up in a house full of kraut. My wife and I have been on a kraut spirit quest ever since reading your post. So far we’ve made five batches, one with green apple and mashed potatoes along with the cabbage. I was making fennel tea this morning and thought about trying it instead of carraway seed for the next batch… And you guys have already beat me to it! I bought some juniper berries today and plan to make a batch using them. Have you gone that route yet?
