Swedish potato sausage

[Cooperman]

Made my Christmas Swedish potato sausage today, 10lbs. Had some ground pork left over, so I made some breakfast sausage. Got my twice smoked ham from the butcher shop, so I’m ready for Christmas.

It's the one kind of sausage I've never had??

Looks awesome Coop!
When we process deer at the shop, that is a high seller (potato sausage)

That looks good. You do know it's neighborly to share, don't you?

Early on in the marriage - maybe the first year - I bought a grocery store potato sausage for Christmas to see what all the fuss was about and maybe start a new tradition.  All where underwhelmed.

Perhaps some day I should select another sausage maker and try it again, but my family is a rough crowd with a long memory.  Sometimes you don't get second chances.

That looks great Coop.  Is that all pork with added spuds?

It’s one of those things you either like it or you don’t. I didn’t care for it the first time I had it, but it does matter who’s making it. If you look at the recipes, they’re all over the place with different spices, and the amount of potatoes.

here's one recipe for it...

That looks fun to make Mike.

It’s equal parts pork and beef, with potatoes. The breakfast sausage is all pork. As a matter of fact the Swedish sausage recipe I use is Reinhardt’s

Ok saw this post and never had Swedish potato sausage before. Since I got a 1/4 Swed and 1/4 Nord I went to the Taste of Scandinavia and pick some up along with some limpa.  What's the best way to make it Coop? 
Then we will see if my 1/2 Czech side likes it! 

[mike89]

I cook mine in water, at least 1/2 way up the sides...    simmer away... 

[LPS]

I use water like Mike and also when the water is getting low I add a little olive oil so it won't stick when the water is gone and helps get a little brown on it.  I love the stuff.

After I stuff it into the casing, I put it in a pot of simmering water about 170-180 degrees until the internal temp reaches 155 degrees. Then I freeze it. When you want to eat it, I pan fry it in butter or oil to brown it. If you buy it, it is probably already cook, so all you should have to do is pan fry it.

Thanks. I think the frying sounds better then just boiling.  I use to eat a lot of boiled ring baloney, but that's baloney not sausage!

They turn out pretty good grilled also. I too use RH's recipe but backed off just a little on the taters,  they seem to hold better. I was thinking on doing all pork next time, anyone tried that?

[mike89]

I have grilled them too and they are great that way too!!

[mike89]
