Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork shoulder (ground)
- 1 pound Beef chuck (ground)
- 2 cups Russet potatoes (peeled and finely grated)
- 1 cup Yellow onion (finely chopped or grated)
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1 cup Water
- 1 package Sausage casings (natural hog casings)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the sausage casings by rinsing and soaking them according to the package instructions. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, grated potatoes, and chopped onion.
Step 3
Add the salt, white pepper, and ground allspice to the mixture. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon.
Step 4
Gradually add the water, mixing well to ensure the sausage mixture is moist but not overly wet.
Step 5
Using a sausage stuffer or a funnel, carefully stuff the prepared casings with the sausage mixture. Be gentle to avoid air pockets and twist the casings to create sausages of your desired length (typically 4-6 inches).
Step 6
Once all the sausage mixture has been stuffed into the casings, tie off the ends securely.
Step 7
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer (not boiling). Prick the sausages lightly with a needle or pin to release air pockets and prevent bursting during cooking.
Step 8
Simmer the sausages for 20-30 minutes, or until fully cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Step 9
Remove the sausages from the water and serve hot. Swedish potato sausage is delicious on its own or paired with lingonberry sauce, mustard, or boiled potatoes.
