This is my conversion of the world's best High fat Potato Soup which one of the trademark dishes at a popular midwest restaurant. In fact, it is low in just about everything, BUT - you can barely tell the difference in taste. Submitted by: BEAJAE

I made this but stopped at the flour and milk and we didn't fry them, we just put the mixture on a sandwich and it was GREAT! - 2/4/10

I tried this using left over corned beef, not deli meat, it was a roast slow cooked for 17hrs in Sprecher beer. Yum! Definitely saving this recipe!

My sister-in-law makes them with corned beef and adds shredded swiss cheese with the cream cheese.

I changed these up. Instead of sausage I used corned beef. Instead of milk I used thousand island dressing. I used 1 pkg of Neufchatel cheese and added 8 ounces of swiss cheese. My out come was a reuben in a ball. - 12/15/20

An air fryer might be the best way to go. I plan on trying it this year.

I often fry them ahead and then bake them. I have never just baked them.

Very good, but had to add extra flour and cream cheese to form them. - 10/28/11

Reply from SLCCOLE (12/6/16)
Never had that problem. If you refrigerate first, they are easier to work with. If the kraut isn't completely drained (squeezed out) then you may need to add more flour or bread crumbs. I never had to add more cheese. But how can THAT hurt anything. They would just be creamier, I suppose!
