Baked potatoes with sausage

Diverse - Baked potatoes with sausage by Georgia F. - Recipia

Sour cream, milk and Parmesan are poured over the baked potatoes with sausage for the last 10 minutes. The potatoes are soft in the middle, and the sausage and strips of pepper are browned before they go into the dish, under a creamy layer that takes on a little color. I serve them with a tangy green salad, so there’s something crisp alongside the sauce. Prep: 20 minutes. Cooking: 68 minutes. Rest: 15 minutes. Total time: 103 minutes. Serves: 4. About 740 kcal and 25 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg potatoes
  • 1500 ml water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried seasoning mix for potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon oil for the dish
  • 2 tablespoons oil for the pan
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 bell pepper
  • 3 fresh pork sausages
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 200 ml sour cream with 20% fat
  • 75 ml milk
  • 30 g Parmesan
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 15 g parsley

Preparation

1. Take the sour cream out of the fridge 15 minutes before using it. Peel and wash the potatoes, then cut them into cubes; remove the seeds and ribs from the pepper and cut it into strips. Slice the sausages and pat them dry with paper towels. 2. Put the potatoes in a saucepan with 1500 ml cold water and 1 teaspoon salt. Boil for 15 minutes, until the tip of a knife goes in easily but the cubes still hold their shape, then drain. 3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the peeled and chopped garlic and cook for 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the pepper and sausages, brown them for 3 minutes over high heat, then cook for another 5 minutes over medium heat, until lightly colored. 4. Season the sausages and pepper with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grease an oven dish with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried seasoning mix. Arrange the potatoes in the dish and sprinkle another 1 teaspoon of the mix over them. 5. Bake the potatoes at 180°C for 15 minutes. Take the dish out, spread the pepper and sausages over the top, then bake for another 15 minutes, until the slices are browned at the edges. 6. Heat the milk for 2 minutes, until steam starts to rise. Gradually stir it into the sour cream, then mix in the Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and bake for another 10 minutes at 180°C, until it sets slightly on the surface. 7. Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the dish before serving.

Notes

Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheating in the oven keeps the edges of the potatoes firmer than reheating in the microwave. Fresh pork sausages work well here, while very thick ones brown more slowly in the pan. Choose potatoes with firm flesh that hold their shape after boiling; floury ones can break apart when you mix them with the sauce. Sour cream with at least 20% fat holds up better in the oven than low-fat sour cream. You can replace the parsley with 15 g chopped dill. The dish contains dairy. Serve it with a cucumber salad dressed with vinegar.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use smoked sausages?

Yes, replace the fresh sausages with 3 smoked sausages and brown them in the pan for 2 minutes before adding the pepper.

What should I do if the sauce is too thick?

Stir 30 ml warm milk into the sauce before pouring it over the potatoes.

Can I replace the Parmesan with another cheese?

Yes, use 30 g grated pecorino and reduce the salt in the sauce to a pinch.

How big should the potato cubes be?

Cut them to about 2 cm, so they soften during the 15 minutes of boiling without falling apart.
