Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cups sauerkraut
- 1 cup beer (lager or pilsner)
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (375°F).
Scrub the baby potatoes and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl, add 2 tablespoons of water, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and microwave for 5 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are precooking, prepare the warm potato salad dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, whole grain mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat on the stove or grill. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the diced onion for 5-6 minutes until translucent. Add the sauerkraut, beer, and caraway seeds. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beer has mostly evaporated and the sauerkraut is soft. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Toss the precooked potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer them onto a grill-safe basket or directly onto the grill grates. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.
Place the bratwurst sausages on the grill. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, turning frequently, until they are browned and cooked through.
Remove the cooked potatoes from the grill and toss them with the prepared mustard dressing. Add chopped fresh parsley to the potato salad for a burst of flavor.
Assemble the grilled German dinner by serving the bratwurst alongside the warm potato salad and sauerkraut mixture. Garnish with additional parsley or mustard if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled German Dinner!
