• 8 sausages (bratwurst)
• 1 pack of grated cheese
• 2 tbsp oil (peanut oil)

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Bring the creamed carrots to a boil with a little water in a pot; do not overcook; season to taste. Fry the bacon and keep warm. Heat a non-stick pan with a little peanut oil and brown the sausages evenly on all sides for about 5 minutes. Score each sausage lengthwise with a deep slash and let cool in a casserole dish. Press the slash slightly wider and spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup in the center of each sausage. Crumble the bacon into this slash, not too finely. Then top each sausage with grated cheese. Bake the whole thing in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 10 minutes. Brown the potato dumplings evenly in the deep fryer and then season with paprika and salt.
