Happy New Year! I always serve sauerkraut around the new year. I thought I might try it with roast beef and potatoes. Sort of change things up slightly from the pork and kraut (or wurst and kraut) we usually have here.

It is a slow bake to be sure. But in this cold winter weather you will enjoy having your home filled with all the delicious  aromas. And the kitchen will be comfortably warm with the oven going.

When everything comes out of the oven, I remove the potatoes to sizzle up with some butter and seasoning. This gives them a nicely browned exterior and a little crispness to the skin. We enjoyed the contrast in texture with the soft interior.

I hope you give this a try and enjoy! Wishing everyone all the best for 2023.
