Sausage, Sauerkraut and Potato Gratin 

There are not many pictures as this started as a let us use the grill sausage in the freezer before it goes bad. The next time we do it we will add lots more pictures. It turned out a lot better than expected and has moved in status from lunch to dinner.

½ lb. Bratwurst
