Swedish Potato Sausage Recipes

SWEDISH POTATO SAUSAGE RECIPE - (3.3/5)

Steps:

• Coarsely grind (1/4-inch chop) the potatoes, beef, and pork in a meat grinder. Cut into 1-inch pieces first if grinding in the food processor. Soak the potatoes in the water with ascorbic acid. Grind the onions the same way. When ready to mix the sausage, drain the potatoes well and combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Stuff casings loosely. Cut in appropriate lengths and tie with a string. Pierce the casings in several places, then simmer the sausage in water to cover about 40 minutes. Makes 8 lbs. of sausage.

SWEDISH (POTATO) SAUSAGE

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!

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.

• 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.
