Cut the carrots and potatoes into small pieces and place in a saucepan. Add a little granular stock and sugar, cover with just a little water and cook the vegetables until soft.
In the meantime, fry the bacon and onion in a little butter. When the potatoes and carrots are done, pour the stock into a bowl. Then add the bacon and onions to the potatoes and carrots and mash them together. Add the brew until the mash has the desired consistency. Season with granular broth and / or sugar, it depends on whether you like it sweeter or salty.
Now fry the meatballs or the bratwurst and enjoy with it. The children and I love to have applesauce with it.
