homemade potato sausage

Eastern European potato sausage made with diced potatoes, bacon bits, fresh herbs and spices.

Potato Sausage

lbs potatoes (peeled and diced about 3/8")

bacon

tsp kosher salt (or

tsp black pepper

tsp nutmeg

onions

garlic (peeled and pressed)

herbs or

Soak and rinse the hog casings.

Place the diced potatoes and the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

Stuff the potato mix into the hog casings, not too tightly, and tie them into two links of equal size. Prickle the top with a needle. Stuffing loosely and prickling will help prevent splitting during cooking.

Shape each link into a spiral.

Preheat the steamer. Steam both sausages if the size of the steamer allows, or one by one, for 60 minutes.

Remove the cooked sausages from the steamer and set them aside.

Preheat a skillet with a mix of 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp cooking oil. Sear the sausages over medium to medium-high heat until well-browned on each side, about a few minutes per side.

Enjoy hot from the pan, with your favorite side dish or a salad.

Hi Victor, I made your sausage like I mentioned I would , It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to stuff them in the casing. I made one long coil and the next casing I did in links just to try . I had a problem with the first coil in the steamer as it split, but the links did not, one started to. Loved the flavor I will give this another go. I said I was also going to smoke them in Hickory but I will do that next time when it is a full batch.

Any thoughts why it might have split, i am thinking maybe to big for the steamer as it almost completely covered the bottom . Too much pressure on the casing as it split all along the inside of the coil. Did not split until about 35 minutes in. Not sure how to post a picture here , will keep looking

Thanks
