Steps

• Prepare the Choucroute
• Place the sauerkraut in a colander and rinse it under cold water to remove excess salt.
• In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside.

• Add the sauerkraut, white wine, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well.

• In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the potatoes. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
