If you’re craving something hearty and delicious, look no further than this savory bratwurst and potato dish. Juicy sausages, crisp-edged potatoes, and a punchy mustard drizzle come together in a rustic meal that’s perfect for family dinners or cozy fall evenings.
Ingredients
- 4 bratwurst links
- 4 medium potatoes, sliced into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Arrange the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof skillet in a single layer. Slide them into the oven and let them roast for about 20 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden at the edges.
While the potatoes are roasting, lightly score each bratwurst link with shallow slashes to help them cook evenly. Remove the potatoes from the oven and nestle the sausages among them. Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bratwurst is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Meanwhile, whisk together the whole-grain mustard and honey in a small bowl. If you prefer a creamier consistency, add a spoonful of plain yogurt or mayonnaise. Once the bratwurst and potatoes are done, drizzle the mustard sauce over the top, or serve it on the side for generous dipping.
Plate your bratwurst and potatoes, then sprinkle fresh parsley for extra color. Grab a fork and dig into this comforting meal that marries crisp textures with savory, herb-kissed flavors.
This recipe brings the best of classic German flavors to any dinner table. It’s ideal for busy weeknights, game-day gatherings, or whenever you want a meal that’s both satisfying and simple. If you’re watching your sodium intake, opt for lower-salt sausages and use less salt on the potatoes. Turkey bratwursts or chicken sausages make great lighter substitutes, and you can swap in sweet potatoes or root vegetables for extra variety. With endless variations, this Sizzling Bratwurst & Potato Bake offers a crowd-pleasing, no-fuss way to enjoy a cozy, comforting dinner.
