Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes (large and waxy)
• 1.5 l frying oil
• Salt
• 4 bratwursts
• 1 tbsp oil
• ketchup
• curry powder

Instructions

1. 1.

   Brown the bratwursts slowly in hot oil for about 8 minutes until golden brown.

2. 2.

   Prepare a deep fryer or heat enough fat in a large pot to 165°C; test with a wooden spoon handle – bubbles should appear when dipped.

3. 3.

   Peel the potatoes, cut into sticks, and dry thoroughly.

4. 4.

   Fry the potato sticks in batches for about 5 minutes until soft but still pale; remove from oil.

5. 5.

   Increase temperature to 190°C, fry the sticks again in batches for about 2 minutes until crisp; drain well and season with salt immediately before serving.

6. 6.

   Drizzle ketchup over the bratwursts, sprinkle curry powder to taste, and serve alongside the fries.
