Sauerkraut Balls

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork sausage, sauerkraut, cream cheese, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Balls

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

  3. 3

    Coat the Balls

    Roll each ball in breadcrumbs to coat evenly and set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Balls

    Carefully add the coated balls to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the sauerkraut balls from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with creamy horseradish sauce and mustard.
