Sooo good! I used a bone-in rib end pork loin roast and boiled new potatoes separately. Since
my roast was small, a little less than 3 lbs, I used your advice about cooking the kraut separately at first. Put it in for about an hour before the roast, seared the roast, then added it for the hour and a half covered, an hour uncovered...perfect. I used Hebrew National bagged kraut this time and like it even better than Boarshead.
