Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 vegan Bratwurst sausage links cut into 1/4" slices
- 1 cup yellow onion thin sliced
- 1/2 cup lager beer
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut well drained
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat potatoes lightly with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake for 1 hour, or until easily pierced with a fork. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Switch the oven to Broil.
- Slice each potato lengthwise across the top, leaving enough of the skin intact to hold the filling. Scoop out the insides and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
- Set a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bratwurst in an even layer. Cook 3–5 minutes per side, until browned. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into small pieces. Do not wipe out the skillet.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add sliced onions to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, about 20 minutes, until deep golden brown.
- Add chopped bratwurst and lager to the skillet. Stir as the beer reduces slightly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Add butter, mozzarella, and the bratwurst-onion mixture to the bowl with the potato insides. Stir gently to combine and season to taste.
- Spoon the filling generously into the potato shells. Place on a baking sheet and broil 1–2 minutes, just until the tops begin to brown.
- Top each potato with sauerkraut and a little black pepper. Serve warm.
