Ingredients

  • 1 pound bratwurst or smoked sausage cooked and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons lard or coconut oil
  • 5 medium red potatoes cubed
  • 1 medium apple diced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 16 ounces sauerkraut homemade or store bought
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • Heat the oil over medium/high heat in a large skillet. Cook the potatoes in the oil until they are browned and somewhat tender, about  5 minutes.
  • Add in the apples and onions and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Add in the sauerkraut and sausage and turn the skillet to low heat. Simmer with a lid on for about 10 minutes until the sauerkraut is tender and the flavors are melded together.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • The bratwursts I used were uncooked, so I had to cook them in my skillet before the rest of the ingredients. If your sausages are already fully cooked, you can skip that step.
