Knocks ‘n’ Brats & Red Cabbage & Roasted Potatoes

Recipe Description

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!
