Bratwurst sausages are the pride of German cuisine. When you think Germany, you think bratwurst!
In the collage above, you can see my very own bratwursts made in the air fryer! If you're looking for something more traditional but equally as delicious, try this one Oma's grilled bratwurst recipe.
You can't start creating a meal if you don't have a good bratwurst recipe to start with, after all.
Now, let's get started on some delicious side dishes to go with them!
As you can see above, potato salad recipes are served OFTEN alongside bratwurst, especially in the northern regions. It's a German staple! Enjoy the creaminess of the potatoes with the perfect kick of dill.
This sauerkraut salad is what you want if you're looking to make the perfect German meal. Nothing says German quite like brats and sauerkraut, right?
This salad could be spotted all over during Oktoberfest. But there's no reason this lovely salad can't be enjoyed any time of the year.
Oma's tomato salad recipe is one of those salads that pairs greatly with just about anything, and looks like summer in a bowl. Barbecue your brats and serve this on the side!
Eat it as a salad or scoop it onto tortilla chips for a great picnic treat.
Here's an interesting one! Another German potato salad, but it's not just a regular potato salad, this time, it's a warm potato salad.
It gives off such a heart-warming feeling- the same that bratwurst does. It will bring those wunderbar memories of being back in Germany.
German Spätzle is very popular in southern parts of Germany, just like the warm potato salad. Ask any German, they know it and love it! Bring a piece of Germany to your table tonight with this classic noodle dish.
Potato pancakes and bratwurst will give you that 'breakfast for dinner feeling'. These only take minutes! Shred with a grater, or blend, it's up to you, the chef to find your favorite way of making them!
My air-fried sweet potato recipe is made in the Instant Vortex Air Fryer Oven, but it can be made easily in the oven too.
Not only are they easy, but versatile too. Try making sweet potato fries with any leftovers. A recipe within a recipe- my favorite!
Brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar and maple syrup is so delightfully yummy. They're a perfectly snackable side and are made with just four ingredients! It doesn't get much better than that.
This German red cabbage recipe sure is one of a kind. Cabbage is something that goes with anything and can be found anywhere in Germany. Whether it be sour red cabbage, cooked with sweet apples, or jarred. It's a hit.
Red cabbage is also one of those recipes where the leftovers taste just as good.
Finally, the classic you've been waiting for. A MUST have at your dinner table. The one and only, German sauerkraut!
Prepping and cooking this side dish is such an easy task. No stress in the kitchen for this one! Can you taste it beside your bratwurst sausage already? YUM!
I'll say, those all look really good! And perfectly approved to serve with German sausage. No matter which you choose, they will all be loved and enjoyed!
Time to get cooking, frying, and snacking along the way ;) Just follow the links, get your favorite apron out and enjoy some kitchen time!
