Ingredients
- 4 bratwurst sausages
- 2 cups sauerkraut, drained
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, diced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Fresh parsley for garnish
If you’re out of olive oil, feel free to use vegetable oil instead. And if you’re feeling adventurous, a dash of smoked paprika can add a warm depth to the potatoes!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
- Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the diced potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and caraway seeds, and cook until the potatoes are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the onion and potato mixture from the skillet and set aside with the bacon.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and brown the bratwurst sausages on all sides. This should take about 8 minutes.
- Return the potato mixture to the skillet, arranging it around the bratwurst. Add the sauerkraut on top, pour in the chicken broth, and sprinkle the crispy bacon over everything.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bratwurst are cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
This dish is a testament to my belief that cooking should be joyful and not a chore. Just like my abuela, I encourage you to follow your senses and adjust the flavors to your liking.
