  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Contains: alcohol, beef, celery, dairy, gluten, pork, sulphite

Ingredients

  • 130 g St. Galler Bratwurst (veal, made with milk)
  • 3 g Vegetable oil
  • 80 g Onions
  • 14 g Butter, unsalted
  • 5 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 30 g White wine, dry
  • 120 g Beef broth
  • 0.2 g Black pepper
  • 170 g Potatoes, waxy, raw
  • 0.5 g Salt

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in their skins for 15 minutes until just tender but still firm, then drain them and leave to cool completely (they are best boiled the day before).
  2. Slice the onions thinly. Melt a third of the butter in a pan and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden.
  3. Dust the onions with the flour and stir for 1 minute, pour in the wine and let it bubble for 1 minute, then add the broth and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce coats a spoon. Season with pepper.
  4. Peel the cold potatoes, grate them coarsely and season with the salt. Melt half the remaining butter in a small non-stick pan, add the potato and press it into a cake.
  5. Cook the rösti over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until a golden crust forms. Turn it out onto a plate, add the rest of the butter to the pan, slide it back in and cook the other side for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile heat the oil in another pan and fry the bratwurst over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning it, until browned all over and hot through; don't prick the skin.
  7. Serve the sausage with the rösti and the onion sauce spooned over.
