A couple of tips:

-Use German bacon.
-Cold smoke pork chops if possible or coat in paprika before browning.
-Don't put all the thyme or carroway seeds in the bouquet garni; you'll want some in the kraut for color and taste
-Don't use a buttery white wine
-Add the potatoes just long enough to cook them. Better with smaller potatoes that do not need peeling
-Use more garlic that most recipes suggest
