GERMAN POTATO AND SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
This is right up our alley, and I'll be making it tomorrow. Our daughter will not be happy, but alas, she can always eat something else! I will only drain the saurkraut, and not rinse it, as we love the taste. I used fat-free half-and-half. Yummy! From Pillsbury's "C'mon Over!" cookbook.

HOT GERMAN POTATO SALAD CASSEROLE
Passed down from my German/Dutch Grandmother. A hot potato salad with bacon, cheese and a creamy/vinegar sauce makes this a wonderful dish to serve with bratwurst on a cold fall day in Deutschland or wherever you might be. I usually double the bacon and sauce to make this extra flavorful.

Tips:
- To make the casserole extra crispy, use a combination of melted butter and olive oil to grease the baking dish. This will help the potatoes to brown and crisp up nicely.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the casserole will be slightly less rich and creamy.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as chopped carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked bacon or sausage. Just be sure to brown it before adding it to the casserole.
- Serve the casserole hot, garnished with chopped parsley or chives.
