Chef's pro tip
Allow the sausages to sizzle in the butter without stirring them to achieve the perfect texture. Let them cook until the edges crispen up nicely before adding the sauerkraut. Also, ensure the sauerkraut is well-drained to avoid stewing it in excess liquid; you want it to fry slightly for the best flavor and texture.
