Notes

  • Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand from pepper, spring onions, leek, zucchini you name it.
  • You can use any precooked sausgaes you get your hands on to make this potato and sausage stew. I normally use Bockwurst, Frankfurter Würstchen or Wiener Würstchen to make this stew.
