How would a potato sausage be served?

Franco

Please find below the introduction from DEVRO
hope this answers your question

POTATO LINKS
Potato links are a natural breakfast or dinner item which is a mildly flavoured sausage whose base ingredient is potato. The product can also be positioned as snacks or hors d'oevres. This product concept is a variation of new product development in the no-meat snack area. It utilizes an edible collagen protein film as a package unit for deep fat fryable linked snacks and main meal entree; This product can be made with fresh potatoes or frozen potatoes.
Initial development of the concept used primarily frozen potato products as raw material. Subsequent phases have relied upon fresh potato both for economic and practical reasons.
This product can be made using conventional meat processing equipment. A bowl chopper, or similar reducing machine, converts the raw potato into smaller particles and allows uniform blending of seasoning. A piston or continuous vacuum stuffer fills the casing with the potato emulsion. A portioning unit forms and separates the links. The fresh product can be microwaved or deep fat fried.

Thanks for that, it was just that I don't think I've ever seen a potato sausage on sale!

Franco

Me neither
Although they are made in SWEDEN but while being called potato sausage they are mixed with meat.
See recipe below

Potatiskorv

1 lb Beef
1/2 lb Pork
7 cups grated potato
1 onion (Chopped)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground ginger

Mix all ingredients together, stuff loosley into sausage casings.
Sausages should be about 5" long. Cover with salted water & refrigerate until ready to use.
To cook, remove from brine & poach in salted water for 30 minutes.
Drain metlt 1/3 cup butter in a large frying pan & brown sausages on all sides.

I can think of several reasons that you don't see many/any for sale.

These would be

1) the fact that it's highly perishable and would have to be stored in its frozen form thus taking up space that could be used for higher financial return items

2) as potato is the main ingredient the price that the customer will be prepared to pay will be minimal. This is one of the reasons that most pubs have stopped serving bubble and squeak. Insufficient return on outlay.

3) unfamiliar to the general public

I have been reading this thread and noticed sausagemaker had said he would post a PDF file of these recipes.
I do not think it has not been done yet so I have just done one.
Is there anyway I can post it on the forum?

Just a quickie to say thanks very much, and that the timing couldn't have been better, because I shall be collecting my farm raised free range half pig on Monday. So sausages are on the order of the days that follow. That will give me a chance to try out my brand new stuffer!!

Yum

Nice job there, Wallie and Spuddy, thanks.
