WARM POTATO SALAD WITH SAUSAGE



Warm Potato Salad with Sausage image

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Potato     Sausage     Boil

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 or 3 new potatoes
1 or 2 large sausages, such as sweet Italian, Polish kielbasa, chorizo, or hard-to-find French garlic sausage
2 teaspoons oil
A splash of red wine
Dressing
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
A good pinch of salt
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 scallions, sliced
2 or 3 fresh sprigs parsley, chopped

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For best results, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. These hold their shape well when cooked and won't get mushy.

  • Cook the potatoes correctly: Boil or steam the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooking will make them fall apart.

  • Use high-quality sausage: The sausage is the star of the show in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the sausage, make sure to give it plenty of room in the pan so that it can brown evenly. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the sausage from getting crispy.

  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Use a dressing that is tangy, flavorful, and complements the sausage and potatoes.

  • Serve warm: This salad is best served warm, when the potatoes are still tender and the sausage is still crispy.
