I was hungry for some brats and I had some of my homemade sauerkraut for on them. It was sunny and 28 deg. today so I did them on my smoker. I had some fresh brats from my butcher. He just happened to have some of his standard brats and some cheese brats in the counter. I got 3 of each; my wife likes the cheese brats but I would rather have his standard brats.
Our daughter took the grandson out to eat tonight and to see Star Wars so there were just the wife and me for supper. I made a batch of potato salad after lunch from a new recipe I wanted to try.
I did the brats on my Traeger, 200 deg. for half hour, 260 deg. for a half hour and 290 deg. a half hour. I caramelized onions for the brats too. I had a plain brat with mustard and kraut and a cheese brat with mustard and onions. My wife just had one cheese brat with kraut and onions. She liked the potato salad and I thought it was pretty good too.
