- Makes: 1 serving (553 g)
- 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
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the sausage with the rösti and the onion sauce spooned over.
