Add bratwurst to the skillet; brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Pour in beer, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.

Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until brats are cooked through.

Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes; drain.

In a separate pan, melt butter and toss cooked potatoes with salt and pepper.

Add cooked potatoes to the skillet with brats; stir to combine.

Serve brats in buns with sautéed vegetables and mustard.

Garnish with chopped parsley and cheese, if desired.
