Preheat oven to 350°F. Pat pork knuckle dry and score the skin in a diamond pattern.

Rub knuckle with salt, pepper, and caraway seeds. Place on a rack in a roasting pan.
Step 3
Roast for 2.5 to 3 hours, until skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 190°F.
Step 4
While pork roasts, boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Drain potatoes, mash with milk and butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Warm sauerkraut in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Let pork rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, and optional sausages or crusty bread.
