Step 1
Grate the potatoes and onion coarsely. Squeeze out excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the grated potato-onion mixture with egg, flour, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture, flattening into pancakes.
Step 4
Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil if needed.
Step 5
In the same skillet, cook the sausages over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Step 6
Warm the sauerkraut in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Step 7
Serve the potato pancakes with sausages and sauerkraut on the side. Top with fresh onion rings and a dollop of mustard if desired.
