Ingredients

  • 1000 g waxy potatoes
  • 3 EL cooking oil
  • 1 TL sweet paprika powder
  • 8 Stück bratwurst (pork bratwurst)
  • 200 g tomato ketchup
  • 100 ml water
  • 1 EL sugar
  • 2 TL curry powder
  • 1 EL tomato paste
  • salt
  • black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C, top and bottom heat.
  2. Wash the potatoes, do not peel them, and cut them into thick sticks. In a large bowl, toss them with 2 tbsp oil, paprika powder, salt and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake the fries in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes until crispy. Turn them once halfway through the baking time.
  4. Meanwhile, fry the bratwursts in 1 tbsp oil in a large pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes on all sides, until golden brown. Then remove them from the pan and slice them.
  5. For the curry sauce, add the tomato paste to the pan briefly and roast it. Add the ketchup, water, sugar and curry powder and let it simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the sausage slices to the sauce and toss them briefly in it. Serve the currywurst with the hot fries.
