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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Chop fresh parsley for garnishing.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Stir in the sauerkraut and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet and mix everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your Grumpy German!
