Knocks ‘n’ Brats & Red Cabbage & Roasted Potatoes
I make this Knocks ‘n’ Brats & Red Cabbage & Roasted Potatoes when I am craving a taste of my grandmother’s rustic home cooking. I love the earthy flavor of the red cabbage and it is really good when it’s combined with crisp roasted potatoes and juicy sausages.
Start by making the roasted potatoes. I usually give them a quick boil before crisping them up in a very hot oven. To cook the red cabbage, simply place all the ingredients in a large pot and bring them to a boil. While the red cabbage simmers, cook the sausages in a large skillet. Serve with mustard and pickles for a really rustic and tasty dish!
To make my Knocks ‘n’ Brats & Red Cabbage & Roasted Potatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
Steps to make Knocks ‘n’ Brats & Red Cabbage & Roasted Potatoes
1 | Heat oven | |
Preheat the oven to 500 °F. | ||
2 | Lightly cook the potatoes | 15 |
Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters lengthwise. Cut the quarters into 1-inch pieces and place them in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring them to a boil over high heat. | ||
3 | Reduce heat and simmer | 5 |
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain well. | ||
4 | Roast potato chunks | 40 |
Place the drained potato chunks on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with melted butter and place in the oven. Roast until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. | ||
5 | Make the red cabbage | 20 |
Place the red cabbage, onion, apple cider, mustard, brown sugar, oil and seasonings in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is crisp-tender. Remove the bay leaf and discard. | ||
6 | Cook the sausages | 15 |
Place the fresh sausages in a large skillet and add enough water to just cover them. Simmer the sausages over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes until almost cooked through. Add the knockwurst and simmer for 3-4 more minutes until the fresh sausages are cooked through and the knockwurst is hot. | ||
7 | Crisp up the sausages | 7 |
Remove the sausages from the pan and drain the water out of the skillet. Add a dash of oil and heat it over medium-high. Return the sausages to the pan and cook them for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are crisp and browned all over. Slice each sausage into 3 or 4 pieces on a sharp angle. | ||
8 | Serve | 5 |
Serve the sausages on top of a large dollop of red cabbage with the mustard, pickles and potatoes. | ||

So much going on in this recipe but it's totally worth it, everything blends really well and taste great.
Not even surprised this turned out great and that it's German! You always make some dope cultured food Jelena can't wait to see what else you come up with.
The appearance is not attractive at all sadly..it taste good but looks bad would work on the design a bit more
Won't complain too much but the flavor needs a bit more work was very dry
The flavor exceeded my expectations thx :)

Well done! Verified!
