Ingredients
For the Grilled Sausages:
- Sausages (any type: bratwurst, Italian, or smoked): 4–6
For the Crispy Potato Slices:
- Russet potatoes: 2 large, thinly sliced
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Salt: ½ teaspoon
- Black pepper: ¼ teaspoon
- Garlic powder: ½ teaspoon
- Paprika: ½ teaspoon
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional): 1 teaspoon, chopped
Optional Ingredients:
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
- Grated Parmesan, to sprinkle on potatoes after cooking
- Favorite dipping sauces (ketchup, mustard, aioli, etc.)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Potato Slices:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set up a grill at medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and optional herbs until evenly coated.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden. For grilling, cook the potatoes on a grill mat or foil until crisp.
3. Grill the Sausages:
While the potatoes cook, preheat the grill to medium. Place sausages on the grill, cooking for 10–12 minutes and turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
4. Serve:
Arrange the grilled sausages and crispy potato slices on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Serve with a variety of dipping sauces and enjoy hot!
Tips for Success
- Even Slices: Use a mandoline or sharp knife for even potato slices; thinner slices yield crispier results.
- Preheat: Ensure the grill or oven is preheated for consistent cooking.
- Cook Thoroughly: Check sausage temperature (aim for 160°F for pork or beef) to ensure they’re cooked through without drying out.
Recommendations
- Pair this meal with a light salad or roasted vegetables for added balance.
- Try different sausage flavors, like spicy or smoky, for variety.
