Let's discover together how we can transform a few potatoes and some sausages into a special dish!

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30-35 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 1 kg new potatoes
- 2 homemade sausages (preferably smoked for flavor)
- 3 tablespoons of mustard (choose a quality mustard with an intense flavor)
- 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil or sunflower oil
- salt (to taste)
- green or black olives (optional, for extra flavor)
- fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparing the potatoes:
1. Start by peeling the new potatoes or, if you prefer, wash them thoroughly to keep the skin. New potatoes are sweeter and more tender, and the skin contains many nutrients.
2. Place the potatoes in a pot with cold water and add salt. Be generous with the salt, as it will help enhance the flavor of the potatoes. Boil them over medium heat until a fork easily pierces them, about 15-20 minutes. Do not overcook, as we don't want them to fall apart.

Preparing the sausages:
3. Meanwhile, in a skillet, add a little oil and heat it over medium heat. Cut the sausages into rounds and lightly fry them until they become golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. The flavors will combine, giving your dish a special taste.

Mustard mixture:
4. In a bowl, combine the mustard with the oil and a pinch of salt. You can also add a little pepper or herbs if you want a more complex flavor. Mix well until you achieve a smooth emulsion. This mixture will coat the potatoes and sausages, bringing them a unique flavor.

Finishing the dish:
5. Once the potatoes are boiled, drain them well and toss them in the mustard mixture, making sure they are well coated. Then, place them in a greased baking dish.
6. Add the fried sausages on top of the potatoes and, if desired, you can also add olives for extra flavor. The olives add a salty note and an interesting contrast to the sweetness of the potatoes.
7. Preheat the oven to 180°C and place the dish inside. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes become golden and crispy on the surface.

Serving:
8. Once the dish is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a bit. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant look and a touch of freshness. This detail not only enhances the appearance but also adds a wonderful aroma.

Useful tips:
- If you want to add a touch of creativity, you can experiment with different types of mustard (for example, honey mustard or spicy mustard) to customize the flavor.
- For a complete meal, you can serve this dish alongside a fresh green salad or pickles.
- New potatoes with mustard and sausages are an excellent choice for parties, having an enticing taste and being easy to prepare.
