Tasty! Love keilbasa, love brats, love bacon, what's not to love? However, this makes 4+ pounds of food, so if you're feeding a crowd, this is great. I think 3# of potatoes to 1# of meat is too much. Also, next time I would dice potatoes and fry them in the olive oil with the onions. The boiled potatoes did not have the consistancy we were looking for. Also, I added chopped garlic (we add it to just about everything--it's a sickness, sigh...) Good ingredients, good outcome.

The combination of ingredients is great. It's so good that you can't stop even though you know your full. So to prevent us from getting huge we cut the recipe in half. I did saute the onions and peppers in the bacon fat for more flavor. Also after the potatoes were cooked I added them to step eight to have them brown a bit. Thanks for a great and easy recipe. Made for My-3-Chefs Fall 2008 and for the Diabetic Awareness Tag Game 2008.
