This garlic butter bratwurst skillet is a hearty one-pan meal featuring juicy bratwurst, tender baby potatoes, and sautéed vegetables all tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce. It’s flavorful, easy to make, and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 4 bratwurst sausages
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the baby potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the bratwursts and cook until browned on all sides and fully cooked through. Remove from skillet and slice.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for about 1 minute.
  5. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
  6. Return the sliced bratwurst and potatoes to the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  7. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes to combine flavors.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap potatoes with gnocchi or pasta for a twist.
  • Use chicken or turkey bratwurst for a lighter version.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes or spicy bratwurst for heat.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet or microwave with a splash of water or broth if needed.
