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
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Return the cooked potatoes and sliced bratwurst to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle the skillet with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the German Skillet hot as a complete meal or with a side of crusty bread.
