8 bratwurst (pork sausages)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1.5 lb frozen French fries
1 cup ketchup
2 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt

How to cook it

Heat the oven to 425 F and spread the frozen fries (oven chips) in a single layer on a baking sheet, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the bratwurst, turning occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes, until browned all over and cooked through.
While the sausages cook, whisk the ketchup, curry powder, sweet paprika, onion powder, and salt together in a small saucepan and warm gently over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until glossy and the spices smell toasted.
Lift the bratwurst onto a cutting board and slice each one into bite-size rounds.
Pile the sliced sausage onto plates, spoon the curry sauce generously over the top, dust with a little extra curry powder, and serve with the hot fries alongside; this is the quick everyday plate, not the festival stand version.
