  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Soak and rinse the hog casings.
  2. Place the diced potatoes and the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  3. Stuff the potato mix into the hog casings, not too tightly, and tie them into two links of equal size. Prickle the top with a needle. Stuffing loosely and prickling will help prevent splitting during cooking.
  4. Shape each link into a spiral.
  5. Preheat the steamer. Steam both sausages if the size of the steamer allows, or one by one, for 60 minutes.
  6. Remove the cooked sausages from the steamer and set them aside.
  7. Preheat a skillet with a mix of 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp cooking oil. Sear the sausages over medium to medium-high heat until well-browned on each side, about a few minutes per side.
  8. Enjoy hot from the pan, with your favorite side dish or a salad.
