  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Season ribs with salt and pepper and arrange in the prepared baking dish.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Set the ribs onto a plate and drain excess grease from the baking dish. Spread sauerkraut evenly over the bottom of the dish. Place ribs on top with the meaty sides facing up. Tuck potatoes in amongst ribs. Cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the ribs should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Carefully remove the foil to avoid hot steam and serve.
