Potato Sausage
A Swedish Classic
How much do you want to make? 1000 grams
Ingredients
- 100 g pork belly
- 300 g pork shoulder
- 300 g lean beef
- 300 g roasted potatoes the weight that is called for is in roasted potatoes not raw potatoes
- 40 g caramelized onions the weight that is called for is in caramelized onions not raw onions
- 15 g salt
- 2.5 g black pepper
- 1 g caraway
- 80 ml cream
- hog casings
Instructions
- Clean your meat of any silver skin, sinew, arteries and cut into small strips or cubes. Place in the freezer for an hour or until the temp reaches 32f – 34F.
- Roast the potatoes by cutting them up into cubes, toss them in some oil, and cook at 450f (232c). Roast till tender. Remove from the oven and weigh out the appropriate amount.
- Caramelize the onions. Once finished weigh out the appropriate amount
- Grind the potatoes and onions on a 6 mm plate. Set to the side.
- Grind your very chilled meat on a 6mm plate (keep the meat separate from the potato mixture).
- Rechill both the meat mixture and the potato mixture. You want the temp below 34f (1.1c).
- Mix the chilled meat with the liquid and the spices till it becomes very tacky. If you grab a small handful it will stick to your hand if you hold your hand upside down. Once you get to that tacky consistency, add the potato mixture and mix another 20 seconds (just to incorporate)
- Stuff your meat into hog casings and enjoy.
- This sausage can be grilled, poached, boiled, stewed, BBQ'd. Cook to an internal of 155f (68.3c)

Eric,
I made a 2 kg batch of this today! Absolutely amazing! Thanks for the recipe and the guide. Spot on instructions. Having Swedish heritage, but never having had this type of sausage, I was anxious to see how they turned out. Will definitely be making these again, and again…
Cheers,
steve
looks good might try adding some high Temp cheese to that.
I just found this recipe at another site and I’m interested in trying it. The two recipes are very similar, but the other specifically states NOT to cook the potatoes and onions before grinding. My thought was for the water content and the caramelizing of the onions as potential differences, but is there any reason for either cooking or not?
not really. Each version will provide a slightly different texture and flavor.
