Instructions
- 1
Gather and prepare all ingredients. Move a rack to the bottom of the oven with enough room to fit the Dutch oven. Preheat the oven to 300°F.

On the stovetop, heat the Dutch oven over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon and render for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the grease in the pan.

Next, place the brats in the pan and sear each side for 3-4 minutes, until browned. Remove the brats from the Dutch oven and set aside.

Add the onions, garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes until the onions have softened.

Top the onions with the cut potatoes, chicken broth, dried parsley, and dried thyme. Stir to combine.

After 1 hour and 30 minutes, remove the lid from the Dutch oven and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes to crisp up the top of the coddle.
