Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1.5 pounds of Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a large mixing bowl until evenly coated.
Step 2: Spread the potatoes on a large rimmed sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes until they begin to crisp on the edges.
Step 3: Remove the pan from the oven and add 6 bratwurst sausages, 2 cups drained sauerkraut, 1 medium sliced yellow onion, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon caraway seeds evenly over the potatoes. Toss slightly to combine.
Step 4: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes, turning sausages halfway, until the sausages are browned and cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Step 5: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving for a fresh herbal note.
