SWEDISH POTATO SAUSAGE - POTATIS SKORV

To stuff the casings, you will need a meat grinder with a sausage horn attachment. If you don't have such a device, use the mixture to make fried patties by shaping 1/4 cup of filling into a 1/2 inch thick patty and frying in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. From the local paper.

Time 45m

Yield 20 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 lbs ground pork
5 lbs ground beef
10 lbs red potatoes (peeled, cubed and ground)
10 medium onions (peeled, quartered and ground)
8 1/2 tablespoons salt
7 1/2 teaspoons allspice
5 teaspoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons black pepper (or more)
2 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
2 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 lbs casings

Steps:

  • To prepare casings: Let casings soak in cool water about five minutes to remove salt on outer surface (no longer, or they will become too tender to stuff) and flush salt from the inside by placing one end on faucet nozzle and turn on cold tap water (if you see holes or water leaking, cut and discard).
  • Remove casing from faucet and gently squeeze out water; cover rinsed casings and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Using the grinder attachment on mixer or a table grinder; grind meat, potatoes and onions together into a large roasting pan.
  • Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together with spices.
  • Add milk and mix again.
  • Load casings onto funnel nozzle then stuff ground mix into funnel to fill casings into 18-inch length sausage; tie ends and make links by twisting the sausage where you wish the links to be.
  • Four inches is a good size for a regular serving, smaller links may be made for appetizer servings.
  • Place the sausages in large saucepan or dutch oven in a single layer with a little water; cover and heat over high heat to a low simmer.
  • Reduce heat to maintain low simmer (sausages may burst if cooked at too high a heat) until the sausage is heated through, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Precook sausages before freezing.

SWEDISH (POTATO) SAUSAGE



Swedish (Potato) Sausage image

This is a tradtional Swedish sausage recipe that has been handed down from my parants, and their parants and from Sweden around the turn of the 1900 century. Since they have both passed, I have taken up the tradition of making it for our Christmas holiday dinners. I also make enough to give as Christmas gifts.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lb ground beef
3 lb russet potatoes-leave skin on, cut up and hold in ice water
3 lb ground pork
1 1/2 lb onion cut up
1/4 c salt
1/8 c ground black pepper
pork casing
ice - to keep meat cold while working with meat

Steps:

  • 1. This will make approximately 10 lbs of sausage. It freezes well so have some zip lock backs prepared and dated. You may also use a Food Saver too, the sausage will be able to be frozen longer.
  • 2. The pork casing should be placed into a bowl in ice water so it stays wet and pliable so it can be fed on the tube.
  • 3. A meat grinder is needed with a sausage tube to stuff the sausage.
  • 4. Recently I have been leaving the skins on the potatoes because there are more vitamins in the potato skins so the final product will be healthier. If you want to peel the potatoes, that will be fine too. Grind up the onions and the potatoes together in the grinder, using a large container to hold it while performing the next step.
  • 5. Grind the ground pork and ground beef together. Then in the large containter (I use a turkey roaster) mix everything together, ground beef/pork, onions/potatoes with salt and pepper. Keep ice in the meat mixture.
  • 6. Place the meat mixture on the tray provided with the grinder. Take the casing and feed it on the sausage stuffer tube. Use about 2' lengths to start out and get a feel of what you're doing.
  • 7. Start the meat grinder and push the meat mixture through the grinder and it will start filling the casing up. (Hang onto the casing on the tube so it doesn't come off before it's filled with the meat mixture).
  • 8. 1 lb of sausage is roughly 1' of casing. Leave about 1" of casing empty on each end of the sausage, that way you don't have to tie the sausage on the ends. Once you have your meat in the casing, take fork tines or a sewing needle to poke some tiny holes in the casing to release any air that is in the meat. If you don't do this, the sausage will rupture in the boiling water.
  • 9. To cook your sausage: Place the sausage in a dutch oven or large pan, bring to a boil and boil for 45 minutes. Serve with pickled beets and lingonberries!

SWEDISH SAUSAGE POTATO CAKES

The source for this recipe is The Flavor of Wisconsin by Harva Hachten, a collection of recipes. This recipe was submitted by Dagmar Noel in Waukesha, WI. It can be a supper dish, as well as breakfast or lunch. The time indicated does not include mashing the potatoes. For best results, use a well seasoned raw pork sausage with plenty of flavor. That's what will season the dish. Also, be sure to use firm leftover mashed potatoes (definitely not potato puree). They will work much better to hold the patties together. Although the recipe didn't mention this, you can coat them in breadcrumbs before frying the patties to give them a crispy exterior and then serve them with a Swedish mustard sauce.

  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese will give the casserole a nice tangy flavor. You can also use a milder cheese, such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
