Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil for browning
  • 1.25 lb bratwurst sausages sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1.5 lb baby potatoes cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 6 fl oz chicken broth low sodium recommended
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt adjust to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Prep the vegetables and slice the sausages into rounds.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown the bratwurst on both sides, then transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the skillet, add onion and bell pepper, and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, smoked paprika, and thyme. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add potatoes, salt, and pepper. Pour in the broth, cover, and steam until potatoes are just tender, 8–10 minutes.
  • Uncover and stir in Dijon and vinegar. Simmer to reduce slightly, 2–3 minutes.
  • Return the browned bratwurst to the pan. Toss and cook until the edges crisp and glaze forms, 3–5 minutes.
  • Finish with parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve hot.

Notes

Variation: Stir in a handful of well-drained sauerkraut with the mustard for a tangy twist. Swap bratwurst with smoked kielbasa if preferred.
Serving/Storage: Great with grainy mustard on the side. Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days; re-crisp in a skillet with a splash of broth.
