We love nothing more than a good Oktoberfest dinner. What’s better than sausages, potato salad and beer?! Costco has awesome Silva Beer Brats and this German Potato Salad recipe couldn’t be any easier.
We like to boil our brats in beer before grilling them on the BBQ. The beer adds flavor and makes grilling time shorter. Serve the potato salad warm, so you can literally make it just before cooking the brats or even a bit earlier. Crack open a beer while you wait for the brats to cook! Prost!
