Gluten-Free Kassler (Pork Cutlet with Saurkraut and Potatoes)

Celiac.com 09/16/2020 - The following is an authentic German recipe provided by Claudia Spaulding, who was born and raised in Frankfurt a.M., Germany and publishes homemade recipes (though not all gluten free) at her recipe website.

This is a classic German recipe, which is well known in the mid-western part of the country. You will find this dish in every German restaurant that serves homemade dishes. Some prefer to sear the cutlets first before laying on the sauerkraut. This gives it a more hearty flavor, but it is not necessary.
