Air Fryer German Currywurst Loaded Potato Boxes

Currywurst is Berlin fast food with no interest in subtlety: browned pork sausage, curry ketchup and chips eaten from a tray. Its genius lies in sauce, spice and immediate availability. Crisp potato cubes replace the usual chips and catch more sauce. The sausages blister beside them before everything is boxed under warm curry ketchup and extra powder.

You’ll Need

For the Potatoes & Sausages
800g floury potatoes, cut into 2cm cubes
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp sea salt
8 German-style pork bratwurst
For the Curry Ketchup
200g tomato ketchup
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp soft brown sugar
2 tsp mild curry powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Pinch of cayenne pepper
3 tbsp water
To Finish
Extra curry powder
Crispy fried onions
Optional but dangerous
German mustard
Pickled gherkins
A cold pilsner

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

Toss the potatoes with the oil, paprika and salt.

Air fry for 15 minutes, shaking three times.

Add the bratwurst and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning the sausages twice.

Check the sausages have reached 75°C and the potatoes are crisp.

Stir all the curry ketchup ingredients together in a shallow heatproof dish.

Air fry the sauce at 180°C for 4 minutes, stirring once, until hot and glossy.

Slice the sausages thickly and divide them and the potatoes between four boxes.

Spoon over the curry ketchup and finish with curry powder and crispy onions.

Lad Tip: Warm the sauce rather than cooking it to death. Curry ketchup should pour over the sausage— reduce it too far and you will need a wallpaper scraper to serve dinner.
