Bratkartoffeln (fried potatoes) are best made from potatoes you cook the day before. That makes it a quick meal the next day within 30 minutes.

Perfect with leftover meat, or you can use some sliced ham, cook some sausage, or BBQ some hamburgers. Still done within 30 minutes.

Method:

• Prepare the fried potatoes. Click here to open a new window for the recipe. Using leftover cooked potatoes makes this a really quick meal. If you use raw potatoes, this meal will take a bit longer.

• Prepare the meat while the potatoes are cooking. Either use leftover smoked pork loin or some other cooked leftover meat. Serve it cold or heat it in the microwave. Even frying up some sausage to go along with the potatoes is a quick alternative to using cooked meat. If the sausage is a cooked type, then it really only needs to be warmed through thoroughly.
• Prepare the vegetables. If using frozen veggies, cook according to the package instructions. If you have some leftover veggies, just reheat them in the microwave. Using canned vegetables is also a great alternative. This just needs to be warmed up, either in the microwave or on the stove.
• Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or dill to garnish.
• Serve.

So, if you need some leftover recipes or easy dinner ideas, give this meal a try.

Here I've fried up left-over potato slices, cooked some frozen veggies, and served with some leftover peameal bacon.

Such a quick meal to put together. And, so wunderbar!
