Overall, I thought these sauerkraut balls were just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to make them again.

The sauerkraut balls were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices.

These sauerkraut balls were a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sauerkraut.

I added a bit of caraway seeds to the batter, which gave the sauerkraut balls an extra layer of flavor. I also served them with a sour cream dipping sauce, which was the perfect complement.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut, but I'm so glad I did! The sauerkraut flavor is very mild in these balls, and they're absolutely delicious.
