Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/3 cup white vinegar
4 teaspoons sugar
4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage (from about 1/4 large cabbage)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons country Dijon mustard, plus more for serving
Freshly ground pepper
4 fresh bratwursts (about 1 pound)
1 12-ounce can lager-style beer
Directions
- Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with water; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water; season with salt. Mash until smooth. Keep warm.
- Toast the caraway seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat, about 1 minute. Add the vinegar and sugar and cook until the sugar is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Put the cabbage and red onion in a large bowl. Add the vinegar mixture, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the mustard; season with salt and pepper. Toss well.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the bratwursts, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the beer and 1/2 cup of the potato cooking water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the bratwursts are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes; remove to a plate. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer until the liquid is reduced, 4 to 6 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
- Thin the mashed potatoes with more cooking water. Serve with the bratwursts, cabbage, cream sauce and mustard.
