For the Base

Method
 

Prepare the Base
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the bratwurst over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the cubed potatoes, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Combine and Bake
  1. Transfer the potato mixture to a greased baking dish. Stir in the cooked bratwurst.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, and chopped parsley.
  3. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the bratwurst and potato mixture.
  4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Serve
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  2. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm.
