Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 links bratwurst sausages
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 cups sauerkraut
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp caraway seeds
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown and fork-tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place the bratwurst sausages in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove the bratwurst from the skillet and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
Thinly slice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the sauerkraut to the skillet, along with apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, paprika, and caraway seeds. Stir to combine and cook for 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Return the cooked potatoes and sliced bratwurst to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle the skillet with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the German Skillet hot as a complete meal or with a side of crusty bread.
