Why do mashed potatoes taste so good with sauerkraut?

Potatoes = Good.
Dairy products to enhance potatoes when mushed = Good.
Cabbage = Good.
Vinegar = Good.

Have.... have you ever had Sauerkraut? It's the most amazing substance known to man. I first fell in love with it on a Reuban. God I love Reubans. I'm a bigger fan of the Thousand Island/Russian Dressing variety to the mustard variety, but they're harder to find around here. Damn, I want a Reuban now.

It is pure glory unto itself. Seriously, I highly recommend when the option comes up, to just try a bit. Always good to branch out your tastes.

Vinegar is awesome. If the sourness is too strong for you, let me suggest rice vinegar. It's a lot milder than "white" vinegar.

My daughter used to eat a whole can of sauerkraut at one sitting. Just by itself, not on anything.
She still loves turnip greens, German potato salad, anything with a lot of vinegar to it. (I'm the same way)

Sauerkraut has a very distinct taste - it doesn't compare to cabbage at all. Give it a try, it's one of the very few German contributions to the art of cooking!
German potato salad
What do you mean by German potato salad? Potatos with apples, gherkins, lots of mayonnaise? Because that dish is just heavenly.

Apple in Kartoffelnsalat? What kind of abomination is that?

A nice addition to potato salad is just a bit of fish sauce, and some stock.

I'll go dig up a recipe.

E: This appears to be quite close to what I mean, though I'd leave out the yoghurt.

Well, anything with half a kilo of mayonnaise can't be bad.

I feel my brain, melting. There's a trickle down my ear and I taste teal. Everything I'm looking at is loud.

The only bright side is that he threw away the seasoning. Can you even imagine.
