German Style Bratwurst and Fried Potatoes

German Style Bratwurst
6 bratwurst sausages
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/4 C butter
1 (12 oz) bottle beer
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 (15 oz) can sauerkraut
6 hoagie style rolls

Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet that has a lid. When butter is melted, add onions and sauté for 5 to 10 minutes until softened. Add beer. Pierce bratwursts with a fork to prevent them from exploding. Place bratwurst in the skillet with the onions, butter, and beer. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, turning occasionally so all sides are cooked evenly.
Serve with sauerkraut on rolls with your favorite condiments.



Fried Potatoes
6 potatoes, sliced
6 Tbsp. oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in a skillet. Add potatoes and fry over medium heat, stirring often until potatoes are browned. Season and serve.
