Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 2 cups sauerkraut
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Chop fresh parsley for garnishing.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook until golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Slice the bratwurst sausages into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the sauerkraut and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the whole-grain mustard and heavy cream. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, about 3 minutes.
Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet and mix everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your Grumpy German!
