It actually wasn't bratwurst, it was spicy beef sausage, but we were going for a German theme, so I'm calling them brats. We had some aged Cheddar cheese, beer and a nice potato salad from Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals 2. To make it, I boiled red pototoes cut in chunks, then tossed them while hot with diced green pepper and red onion, salt, pepper and red vinegar. Once the potatoes absorbed the vinegar I added oil and chopped leafy celery tops. It sat around for about an hour before we ate, allowing the flavors to develop nicely. Just broiled the sausages, so it was a pretty easy meal, and kept me out of a hot kitchen, which is always a goal these days.
