Swedish Sausage Eddie Style Recipes

DELICIOUS SWEDISH POTATO SAUSAGE (VäRMLANDSKORV/POTATISKORV)

Steps:

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

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!
