Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Peel and dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice one apple (two apples for 4 servings). (Youll use the remaining apple in Step 5.) Thinly slice chives. Quarter lemon

Cook Potatoes
2
  • Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain.

  • Return potatoes to pot and mash with sour cream and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed; season generously with salt and pepper.

  • Cover and set aside until ready to serve.

Start Bratwurst
3
  • While potatoes cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add bratwurst and cook until browned but not yet cooked through, 3-4 minutes. (Theyll finish cooking in the next step!)
  • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate.
Finish Bratwurst
4
  • Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pot used for bratwurst over medium heat. Add onion and sliced apple; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Add stock concentratehalf the mustard, and ¼ cup water. Return bratwurst to pan and cook, covered, until cooked through, 8-10 minutes more.

  • Transfer bratwurst to a cutting board. Taste and season onion mixture with salt and pepper if desired.

Make Salad
5
  • Meanwhile, halve, core, and dice remaining apple.

  • In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, half the chives, remaining mustard, juice from half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings)salt, and pepper. Add mixed greens, diced apple, and cranberries; toss to combine.

Finish & Serve
6
  • Slice bratwurst into ½-inch pieces. TIP: If bratwurst is too hot to handle, use tongs or a fork to hold in place for slicing.

  • Divide bratwurst, mashed potatoes, and salad between plates. Top bratwurst and mashed potatoes with caramelized onion and apple; spoon any remaining sauce from pan on top. Garnish with remaining chives and serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many loved the caramelized onion and apple combo, but some found the bratwurst bland and lacking seasoning.
  • Ease of prep: Several noted longer prep time due to chopping; consider pre-cutting ingredients for quicker assembly.
  • Suggestions: Try grilling or roasting the bratwurst for better texture and flavor. Add extra herbs or spices to boost taste.
  • Portions: Some wanted more bratwurst; consider including larger sausages or an extra one per serving.
  • Salad: The apple cranberry salad was divisive; try adding nuts for crunch or adjusting dressing to be less tangy.
