Description

This hearty homemade sausage recipe combines ground pork shoulder and beef round with freshly grated raw potatoes for a unique, rustic texture. The addition of onions, garlic salt, and black pepper creates a deeply savory and aromatic flavor profile that is both comforting and satisfying. Unlike traditional dry sausages, the potato content keeps these links moist and tender, offering a distinct home-style taste reminiscent of old-fashioned country cooking. Perfect for slow-cooking in a skillet until golden brown, this dish is ideal for family dinners, potlucks, or meal prepping. The large batch size allows you to freeze portions for quick, delicious meals later, making it a practical yet indulgent addition to your repertoire.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the ground pork shoulder, ground round, ground raw potatoes, finely chopped onions, salt, garlic salt, and black pepper into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand until the mixture is well combined and uniform in texture.
  3. Stuff the meat mixture into prepared sausage casings, twisting at intervals to form individual links.
  4. Divide the sausages into 1 or 2 pound packages and freeze until ready to cook.
  5. When ready to serve, place the frozen or thawed sausages in a large skillet.
  6. Add enough water to the skillet to just cover the sausages.
  7. Bring to a simmer and cook slowly, allowing the water to evaporate gradually.
  8. Continue cooking for approximately one hour, or until all water has evaporated and the sausages are browned in their own juices.
