Creamy Potato Salad with Sausages

Creamy Potato Salad with Sausages

Ingredients:

For the Potato Salad:

• 4-5 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed)
• 2-3 pickles (diced)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
• 1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
• 1/2 small onion (finely diced)
• 1 hard-boiled egg (chopped, optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

For the Sausages:

• 4-6 sausages (Frankfurters, bratwurst, or any preferred type)
• Water for boiling or oil for grilling

Instructions:

1. Cook the potatoes:
   • Place the cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water.
   • Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.
   • Drain and let the potatoes cool completely.
2. Prepare the potato salad:
   • In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, salt, and pepper.
   • Add the cooled potatoes, diced pickles, onion, and chopped egg (if using).
   • Mix gently to combine, ensuring the potatoes are well coated in the dressing.
   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Cook the sausages:
   • If boiling, bring a pot of water to a simmer (not boiling), then add the sausages and cook for 5-7 minutes.
   • If grilling, lightly oil the sausages and cook on a medium grill, turning frequently, until browned and heated through.
4. Assemble and serve:
   • Serve the creamy potato salad alongside the warm sausages.
   • Garnish the potato salad with fresh parsley if desired
