Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

Add the sauerkraut to the skillet with the onions. Stir in 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a separate saucepan, add the blood sausage and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10-15 minutes, until heated through. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and slice into rounds.
