Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
- Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- PUT POTATOES IN 3-QUART POT. Cover with water. Add salt and tarragon. Add fresh bratwursts, if using. Bring to boil. Boil, uncovered, until potatoes are almost tender but still with some firmness. Add onions, peas and carrots. Cook 1 minute longer. Drain contents of pot in large, fine strainer. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half. Split cooked or precooked brats lengthwise, then into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Heat oil in 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add sliced brats. Cook until well browned, about 3 minutes, stirring often. Use slotted spoon to transfer brats to 2-quart mixing bowl. Add potatoes to skillet, cut side down. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Use slotted spoon to transfer them to bowl along with sliced green onions and remaining vegetables in strainer. Toss gently to combine.
- FOR DRESSING: Add all ingredients to any fat remaining in skillet. Stir well. Heat through but do not boil. Pour over salad. Toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning. Can be served immediately or refrigerated as long as 1 day. If refrigerated, toss gently to mix ingredients. Adjust seasoning.
- Can be served at room temperature or warm. If serving warm, reheat gently in non-stick skillet or in microwave oven on medium power (50 %) until warm, not hot. Arrange lettuce leaves on serving plate. Mound potato salad on top. Alternately, salad can be served in shallow soup plates (omit lettuce).
