Ingredients
- 4 cans beer, 12 ounces each
- 1 1/2 pounds Bratwurst sausage links (2 to 3-ounce links)
- 2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and medium diced
- Salt
- 6 ounces raw bacon, chopped
- 1 cup chopped onions
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Drizzle vegetable oil
- 12 slices or 6 rolls, dark bread, warm
- Crock whole grain mustard
Directions
In a saucepan, over medium heat, bring the beer up to a simmer. Add the sausages and cook until plump, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Preheat the grill. In a saucepan, over medium heat, cook the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove and drain well. Keep warm. In a saute pan, over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Add the onions. Season with black pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, crispy bacon/onions with fat, vinegar, to taste, mustard, eggs, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Using the back of a spoon, mash the mixture together. The salad should be well blended but with some lumps.
Lightly brush the sausages with oil. Place on the grill and cook for a couple of minutes on each side. Remove the sausages from the grill. Mound the potato salad in the center of each serving plate. Lay the sausages next to the salad. Garnish with parsley. Serve with the brown bread and mustard.

Awesome!!! Best potato salad! Agree w/earlier post on adding minimal mustard and vinegar at the beginning and then adjust a little at a time to get the right balance. Also, used baby red potatoes since that's what I had in the pantry.

Amazing Potato Salad. I was looking for a Potato salad like my German Grandfather's Recipe and this is the closest one I found. Very Good. I found veal/pork Brats and cooked them in a rye/barley beer. Very Good.

Went by recipe and the bratwurst was good but the potatoe salad had too much mustard. Guess that is why I am not German. I agree with some of the other comments to substitute with brown sugar if you don't like too much mustard. Sorry only gave 3 stars as I followed recipe and I threw half of it away.
