GERMAN POTATO SALAD WITH SAUSAGE
Hearty and saucy, this potato salad is an old family recipe that was updated using cream of potato soup to ease preparation. Despite the "salad" name, this is a hot and filling dish that brings comfort food to the supper. The sausage and sauerkraut give it a special zip. -Teresa McGill, Trotwood, Ohio

WARM POTATO SALAD WITH SAUSAGE
Steps:
- Boil the potatoes in a small pot with plenty of water for about 20 minutes, or until tender. After about 10 minutes, prick the sausages and put them in a small skillet that you've rubbed with oil. Brown on both sides, and cook slowly, turning occasionally, for a total of about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the dressing by mixing all the dressing ingredients in a bowl. When the potatoes are ready, drain them and cut them into fairly thick slices (no need to peel them, unless you prefer to). Toss the warm potatoes with the vinaigrette. At this point, the sausages should be ready. Remove them to a plate, and add a splash of red wine to the pan, cooking it down quickly until it is syrupy. Pour this bit of pan juice over however much of the sausage you plan to eat right away, and serve it to yourself with the warm potato salad.
- Second Round
- I've deliberately called for more sausage here than I would eat in one sitting, because I like to have some cooked sausage in the fridge to use in a frittata or an omelet or a hearty soup, or to add to a pasta sauce. It's very handy. So determine for yourself how much sausage you want to cook.

PRESSURE COOKER GERMAN POTATO SALAD WITH SAUSAGE
quick creamy german potato salad that is made in a pressure cooker. It is take out of the "The Pressure Cooker Cookbook" by Toula Patsalis. I use lower fat turkey sausage. I have tried regular sausage in this recipe and it makes the salad too greasy. I normally dice the radishes and bell peppers in small pieces. I use about a half a pepper. I have substituted regular yellow mustard for dry mustard. Black pepper seems to be ok to use as well.

Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: Use high-quality sausage that is flavorful and has a good texture.
- Cook the sausage thoroughly: Make sure the sausage is cooked all the way through before adding it to the potato salad.
- Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for potato salad.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and fall apart in the salad.
- Cool the potatoes before adding them to the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
- Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing.
- Add flavor with herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices, such as parsley, dill, celery seed, and black pepper, can add a lot of flavor to potato salad.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.
