Maders is a traditional German restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The recipe is courtesy of Rachel Ray, 40 dollars a day. It sounds oh so German and oh so yummy! Many steps but not complicated, and reminds me of Oktoberfest! Ingredients:
1 teaspoon sea salt |
8 -10 red potatoes |
4 bratwursts |
4 knockwurst |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon minced chives |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
4 slices dark rye bread |
8 ounces sauerkraut, drained and warmed |
4 ounces german mustard, for serving |
1 cup unsalted butter, softened |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives |
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat leaf parsley |
salt & fresh ground pepper |
