I always add the meat at the end also, and I too start with the onion and bell pepper first. Gotta have crispy potatoes or he gets grumpy, LOL.I used about a third of a large deli pickle and 4-5 Tbsp of juice. I put the juice in after the onion and bell pepper had cooked a bit so the water in it would have time to evaporate and not interfere with browning after I added the potatoes. Oh, I had 2-1/2 to 3 cups of potatoes. Added the pickles when I stirred in the CB.
Thanks for the sauerkraut ball explanation. I'll tell Craig about them and see if his grandmother ever made them.
Is Craig's family from Ohio?
