Mashed potatoes with apple sauce and bratwurst or black pudding or panhas

A typical Rhenish recipe! Peel the potatoes, cut into large pieces, and cook in salted water. Meanwhile, peel and slice the apples. Boil them in a little water until soft. Drain the potatoes and vent. Add the milk and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mash the apples and season with lemon juice (add sugar if desired, but I always omit this). Dice the bacon and onions and fry them in a large pan until browned. Now mix with the mashed potatoes—or not. Cut the black pudding or other sausage into slices and fry them briefly on each side (about 1 minute). Flöns (a kind of sausage) falls apart when fried—be careful! Since I don’t eat them, I substitute panhas, bratwurst, or boiled pork sausage—so everyone has their own side dish of choice. Arrange the potatoes and apples on plates. Place the fried sausage next to it and top with the onions and bacon.
