What You Need to Make Potato Sausage

How to Make Potato Sausage

Prepare the Sausage Casings

In a large bowl, soak the sausage casings in water for 4-6 minutes. Rinse with cold water, then set aside.

Make the Potato Sausage Filling

In a large bowl, mix all the filling ingredients until well combined. Feel free to also grind the potatoes and onions along with the meat beforehand (using a grinder or grinder attachment) for a more uniform texture.

Stuff the Sausage Casings

Stuff the potato sausage filling into the prepared casings using a sausage stuffer. Don't overfill the casings to prevant breakage. Once stuffed, tie the ends of the casings and make sausage links by twisting the casing where you want the links to end.
Prick the top of each sausage with a toothpick.

Cook the Potato Sausages

In a large pot, boil water (just enough to cover the sausages).
Once the water comes to a rolling boil, turn the heat down to a low simmer. Place the potato sausages in a single layer and boil for about 14-17 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through.
Optionally, you can sear the sausages in a large skillet for golden-brown potato sausages. Add butter to a skillet on medium-high heat, and cook the sausages for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. ENJOY!
