German Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 large raw potatoes, halved and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
2 medium onions, sliced thin
16 ounces sauerkraut
24 32 ounces ring bologna or 32 ounces smoked sausage, cut into 1 inch, slanted chunks
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large casserole dish with a lid, layer the ingredients in this order - 3 dabs of butter, potatoes, onions, sauerkraut, salt and pepper, sausage.
You can half everything and make two \"stacks\" of layers as well, if you prefer. Make sure you end with sausage on top.
Push ingredients down, if necessary, to compress and fit into your dish.
Bake until the potatoes are tender - I usually go for an hour and fifteen minutes for perfect potato tenderness for my family.
Remove from the oven and serve.
This dish is wonderful with home-made bread.
