Bratwurst With Sautéed Cabbage & Cucumber Potato Salad

By ltrodrigu

The refreshing cucumber potato salad is the perfect complement to juicy bratwursts and sautéed cabbage.

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound new potatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 bratwurst links (about 3/4 pound)
• 1/2 English cucumber, sliced
• 1/3 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
• 1/2 small head red cabbage (about 1/2 pound), thinly sliced
• 1/2 small onion, sliced
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
• 3 tablespoons white vinegar
• 4 hot dog buns
• Spicy mustard, for serving (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 450°F. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 5 minutes. Add the bratwurst to the baking sheet and continue to roast, turning the potatoes once, until the potatoes are golden and the bratwurst is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes more.

Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl and let cool slightly. Add the cucumber, yogurt, dill, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, onion, caraway seeds (if desired), and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and onion are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the vinegar.

Place the bratwurst in the buns. Top with the mustard (if desired) and sautéed cabbage, dividing evenly. Serve with the potato salad.
