2-3 Tbs bacon grease or high heat oil
2 cloves fresh garlic crushed
1 medium onion chopped
5-6 medium sized potatoes cut into wedges. My favorite are Yukon Gold, but you can use whatever you want. Peel or not peel - that's up to you. We prefer peeled potatoes.
6 - 8 bratwurst
salt & pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 425.
Heat up bacon grease or grape seed oil over medium heat
Add garlic and onion and saute until fragrant - about 3-5 minutes. Remove garlic and onion from skillet.
Turn heat up to medium-high, add more bacon grease if necessary, then add the potato slices.
Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes. Then, uncover, flip the potatoes, cover back up and cook for 3-5 more minutes. Use the longer cooking time if you like your potatoes a little burned and crispy like I do, or the shorter time if you prefer them not to get a little burned.
Turn off the heat. Put the garlic and onions back on the potatoes and give it all a good stir.
Top with bratwurst and place in the oven to bake about 30-40 minutes.
Flip the brats about halfway through cooking time and also stir the potatoes.
Serve with condiments and enjoy!
