Potato Stew with Pork Sausages

This Potato Stew with Pork Sausages is as delicious as it is simple to make. It’s a versatile dish—you can skip the sausages to create a lighter, vegetarian version that cooks even faster. The choice of sausages is completely up to you! We recommend using homemade sausages when possible, as they tend to have a richer flavor, but store-bought smoked pork sausages (preferably a bit thicker) work just as well. To complete the meal, we love pairing it with pickles—such as sour cucumbers, pickled peppers, or watermelon pickle—adding a tangy contrast that enhances the flavors. This is our take on this beloved traditional recipe:

Equipment

1 pot

1 pan

1 kitchen knife

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1/2 kg smoked pork sausages
• ▢ 1 kg potatoes
• ▢ 1 onion
• ▢ 2 tbsp tomato paste bulion
• ▢ 4 tbsp sunflower oil
• ▢ 1/3 tsp salt to taste
• ▢ 1/3 tsp ground black pepper to taste
• ▢ 200 ml water

Instructions

 

Prepare the Potatoes and Onion

• Peel and rinse the potatoes, then cut them into medium-sized cubes.

  Peel, rinse, and finely chop the onion. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a pan and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent and slightly golden.

  Once the onion is softened, add salt, black pepper, and the tomato paste. Stir everything together until well combined.

  Add the cubed potatoes and pour in enough water to cover them. Let them simmer gently, ensuring the potatoes cook until just tender (but not too soft, as we don’t want them to fall apart).

Cook the Sausages

• While the potatoes are cooking, slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces and fry them in a separate pan until they’re nicely browned (but not overcooked). Set them aside once done.

Combine the Ingredients

• When the potatoes are cooked (tender but firm), add the fried sausages to the pot. Gently mix everything together and let it simmer for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. If you prefer a soupier dish, feel free to add more water at this point.

  Once everything is well combined, turn off the heat.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve this dish warm with a side of pickles for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful Potato Stew with Pork Sausages!
