Steps:
- Preheat the grill. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the sausages (except for the kiebasa and chorizo) for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the sausages are plump. Remove the sausages from the water and place on a 1/2 sheet pan. Brush the sausages, including the kiebasa, with olive oil. Place the sausages on the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil is hot, render the chorizo for 3 minutes. Add the onions and continue the saute for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the garlic and mustard. Add the potatoes and saute for 3 minutes or until the potatoes are heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the parsley. To serve, mound the potato salad in the center of the platter. Arrange the grilled sausages around the potato salad. Serve with crusty bread and a side of Creole mustard.

Steps:
- Place potato and kumara in a single layer, in a large steaming basket over a pan of simmering water (don't let base of steamer touch the water, cover with a lid or foil and steam vegetables for 12 to 15 minutes or until tender. (I would use my electric 3 tier steamer but if you can't steam I don't see why you can't boil in water till just tender and drain well).
- Remove from heat, drain and transfer to a large bowl to cool.
- Meanwhile whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, gherkins, dill, mustard and juice in a small bowl.
- Combine potato, kumara, sour cream mixture and egg in a large bowl.
- Serve sprinkled with almonds.
Tips:
- For the best potato salad, use a variety of potatoes. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture.
- Be sure to cook your potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. You want them to hold their shape in the salad.
- If you are using a mayonnaise-based dressing, be sure to fold it into the potatoes gently. Over-mixing will make the salad mushy.
- Add your favorite mix-ins to the potato salad. Some popular options include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, and bacon.
- Season the potato salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
