This hearty fall favorite brings together smoky bratwurst, tangy sauerkraut, and a sweet-savory apple-potato hash that balances every bite. It’s rustic comfort food at its finest—simple to make, big on flavor, and perfect for chilly nights.
4 bratwurst sausages
1 tbsp olive oil
2 medium potatoes, diced
1 apple (such as Honeycrisp), diced
½ onion, chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme or ½ tsp dried
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup sauerkraut, drained
In a skillet over medium heat, cook bratwurst until browned and cooked through (about 12–15 minutes), turning occasionally. Set aside.
In the same pan, add olive oil and sauté potatoes for 8–10 minutes until tender and golden.
Add onion and apple. Cook another 5–7 minutes until softened and caramelized. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper.
Heat sauerkraut in a small saucepan or microwave until warm.
Serve bratwurst over a bed of apple-potato hash with sauerkraut on the side or mixed in.
