Cube and boil up about two pounds of potatoes until tender in salted water. Drain and set aside. Peel or unpeeled, your choice
Crumble and brown one pound of sausage.
Add in one chopped onion and a couple of ribs of celery (chopped).
1/2 teaspoons sage.
Cook until soft.
Two cans of corn with the water it is packed in.
One can of evaporated milk.
Add the potatoes back in and give the potatoes a rough mash.
Heat through and serve.
To make your own sausage.
Take one pound of ground pork (or you can use turkey or chicken but brown it in butter. Fat is flavor) Mix in:
2 teaspoons sage
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon fennel
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
You can add in some red pepper flake if you like but it will be plenty flavorful without.
(all herbs are fresh! So half if using dried.) You can cook this right away or you can let it hang out in the fridge overnight.
I think I could like this, given the ‘rough mash’ :-)
When I was a kidlet I would help my Grandma make sausage.
She had machine she would set up at the end of her kitchen table that would grind every thing and I would turn the crank all morning putting it into casing.
She made her noodles by hand. Spread it out on a cloth on her dining room table, cut it by hand, let the dry in her back room and store them in Quaker Oats boxes.
OMG, that women could cook. (So could my gramps, he would roast a leg of lamb in his garage basting it in garlic oil all day long. Heaven!
Thx for the sausage recipe. Never tried it at home but always wanted to.
