Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 stick (113 g) butter
- 1 lbs (454 g) potatoes
- 2 tbsp organic apple juice
- salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp (14 g) butter
- 8 bratwurst sausages
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp pepper
- 2 cups (473 ml) organic apple juice
- 1 large onion
- 3 cups (710 ml) sauerkraut
- 1 red baking apple
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the bratwurst and cook until brown on both sides, about 10 minutes.
- Place the diced potatoes or sweet potatoes in a medium-sized pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain then add the salt, pepper, butter, and 2 tablespoons of apple juice and gently mash. Keep some chunks.
- When the bratwurst is brown on both sides, remove it from the pan, then add the onion. Cook until the onion begins to brown, then add the sauerkraut and mix well. Add the bratwurst to the pan, then pour the remaining apple juice over the top. Cover the pan and cook for 20 minutes. Remove the cover and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the pan is mostly dry.
- Nestle the apple slices around the bratwurst and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Serve the bratwurst and sauerkraut over the potatoes.
Notes
- For richer flavor, use a combination of butter and oil for cooking the bratwurst.
- To reduce cooking time, use pre-cooked bratwurst and adjust cooking times accordingly.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
