Peel and quarter the potatoes and boil in salted water for about 20 minutes until soft. Peel and halve the onions and cut them into half rings. Melt the butter in a pan and sauté the onion rings for about 3 minutes. Add half of the malt beer and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Then add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add the cornstarch mixed with water and simmer for another 2 minutes until the sauce is thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Place the bratwurst, olive oil and the rest of the malt beer in a pan and heat until the beer has evaporated. Continue frying the sausages until they are nicely browned. Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter and milk until they form a smooth mash. Roughly chop the chives. Place the sausage and mashed potatoes on a plate, pour over the sauce and sprinkle with chives.
