- 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!
