What's for Dinner? Sheet Pan Brats & Potatoes

As promised, here is one of our family's favorite sheet pan dinners - Sheet Pan Brats & Potatoes. It's the perfect excuse for enjoying a batch of our Homemade Sauerkraut. Even though grilling season is coming up, having a good sheet pan dinner recipe up your sleeve is a really good thing. You're gonna love this one.

We just gotta have Homemade Sauerkraut with our Sheet Pan Brats & Potatoes.

You can customize this recipe to suit the sausages and veg you prefer. We're partial to good ol' fashion bratwurst, golden potatoes, and white or yellow onions.



It's an easy prep and easy clean up kinda meal. The whole meal gets roasted together in one pan.

Lining your baking sheet with foil makes clean up super easy.

I like to line my sheet pan with foil for easy clean up. After I sprayed the foil with oil spray, I lay down two packages of brats (these kids can eat their sausage). The onions get quartered and roast in chunks so as not to burn. The golden potatoes get quartered if they're big, and cut into three pieces if they're small. Then I toss them with olive oil and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper.



All that wonderfulness gets roasted at a really high temp for 30 minutes. Then I turn over the sausages and roast another 10 minutes. If your oven runs hot (which mine does) you may not need the full last 10 minutes.

Carry the sheet pan to your table, place on a hot plate, and serve up the grub. My kids just stab their own sausages over to their plates with their forks. I serve this meal with whole grain mustard, our favorite Homemade Sauerkraut (we just have to have sauerkraut), and ketchup for the kiddos.

Homemade Sauerkraut really makes this meal.

Matt and I can't really eat this dish without sauerkraut. Can you blame us? Click here to see our favorite recipe for Homemade Sauerkraut.
