We spent a quiet day yesterday doing some reading, blogging, laundry, and taking a nice drive in the car. Of course before we left the house I put together our traditional New Year's Day Dinner: Pork and Sauerkraut with mashed potatoes.
I pulled out a covered roaster and set the oven to 250 for a long slow cook.
After several hours in the oven I peeled and cut up potatoes and got those cooking on top of the stove.
Once these were cooked through I pulled out my handy ricer and ran the cooked potatoes through it, mashing them with a slotted spoon and then beating smart balance and milk into them.
My plate of pork roast, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes was a warm and satisfying dinner start to the New Year!
Yum! I had the same thing, although I coated my pork with flour, plain breadcrumbs, garlic and onion powder, basil, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper before browning it on the stove. Then I put it into a pan with the sauerkraut, covered, and cooked at 425 for an hour. I have enough leftover for my lunch tomorrow. I also made carrots with butter and brown sugar and mashed potatoes.
