Sauerkraut gnocchi is one of my favorite dishes. Super simple, you only need a pan, sauerkraut, gnocchi, a lots of pepper and about 20 minutes. I am not the biggest fan of german food, but this recipe is amazing, well done, german friends!
To be honest it is not my recipe and I have never even made it. I am a lucky girl having a german boy around me who makes this dish anytime I crave it. This is the perfect comfort food for cold and foggy weekends, eating on the couch in your onesies. Okay, just dream onesies….
It is amazing, how the gnocchi is browned and crunchy on the outside, soft inside and melts in your mouth. The sauerkraut is just delicious with it. Oh so delicious! And the pepper makes everything perfect. I have to emphasize again: use a lots of pepper. I mean a lot. Guten Appetit!

This sounds amazing and so creative!! I love sauerkraut so much and usually just eat it by itself. I also love gnocchi and am thinking that they would taste so well together! I need to make this soon!!
I also love to eat sauerkraut by itself and I usually do so, but sometimes it’s great to have a bit more filling meal 😉
I am adding little pieces of fried bacon….that’s German. Delicious.
I don’t eat bacon, but the smokey flavor is a great idea, next time I’ll try it with fried smoked tofu 😉
German recipe. Google.
This looks really good, and different. It reminds me of the dumplings my German grandmother made. 🙂 Funny story, I was never a fan of sauerkraut until I got pregnant with my kids. My first clue that I was pregnant was my ridiculous craving for sauerkraut or cooked cabbage with potatoes.
That sounds interesting….I didn’t like sauerkraut for a very long time, I just started to crave it nowadays, I hope it doesn’t mean I’m pregnant 😀
Just wanted to say a big thank you! This is the most delicious food in this world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy you like it! 🙂
What type of sauerkraut to use? Do you drain the liquid first?
I am new to cooking and would love to try this recipe, but I am a bit confused.
Thanks
I use the one in can, the type they sell in Germany is almost totally dry, so I don’t drain them. But if there is more liquid on them, I’d say it’s better to remove a little bit of that.
In case there would be too much liquid after 10 minutes of sautéing, simply turn the heat higher for a 2-3 minutes until the sauerkraut is almost dry.
I hope I could help and you will like the recipe 🙂
This is a less labour-intensive form of Slovak strapacky. Some creative cultural borrowing involved in making this ‘German’ dish. 😉
Hahaha, true, this dish is indeed like an easier version of strapacky 😍 Have to make some soonish, haven’t had any for years – thanks for reminding me 😉
