I made this recipe as written with the exception of not peeling the potatoes. It was easy to put together and the results were delicious.

This was easy to make. Simple, yet tasty, I think the garlic really added a lot of flavor to this. Made for *New Kids On The Block*

I'm using yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled and whole plus I added a large wedge of yellow onion. I marinated the roast for several weeks in the freezer with dill, garlic, olive oil, cracked black pepper. I'm using a port loin and placing it fat side up. I didn't have any sourkraut so I added 3/4 c apple juice, 1/2 c chicken broth, 1/2 white wine. I also placed two sprigs of fresh Sage on each side of the roast. I had scored the fat on the roast when I had seasoned it and frozen it, and rubbed the seasonings into it. Once placed in the cooker, I sprinkled the top with capers and smashed them into the cuts and a tiny bit of the juice 1 tsp. Then I sprinkled crushed caraway seeds on tope (put them in the palm of your hands and crush by firmly rubbing your hands together and the aroma is released). I am setting the cooker on low for six hours and will wait for the wonderful aroma to fill the house :) I thought about adding some apples but decided the apple juice would be enough sweetness. I did not add any vinegar.
