Pour in the broth, add the cooked white beans, diced potatoes, bay leaf, and marjoram. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until potatoes are tender and flavors have melded.

đĄ Proffstips: Taste and adjust seasoning carefully, as sauerkraut and bacon can be salty.
đĄ Proffstips
- âFor a richer flavor, use a piece of smoked pork hock or a smoked sausage instead of bacon.
- âIf you don't have dried beans, canned can be used, but add them towards the end of cooking.
- âJota can be made a day in advance; the flavors often improve overnight.
