2 Comments This delicious and easy potato salad with sausages is one of my favorite summer recipes. It’s quite heavy and will fill you up for a good time. But with the gherkins and the other fresher elements inside it is still a really good dish for summer too. If you’re looking for a more classic potato salad?
Why I Love This Recipe
I have a soft spot for a really good sausage and the combination of sausages in this potato salad is so good! I usually make it for dinner as it is pretty heavy for a side dish. But if you wanted you can absolutely also make this for barbecue season. No problem at all. It’s also super easy to make and with the mustard style dressing this is one of my summer favorites.
Recipe Ingredients
- Potatoes – use waxy potatoes to make sure they do not fall apart when cooking them
- Bacon – I did mention this is not a light salad right?
- Sausages – you can use whatever favorite sausage you have to add to the salad.
- Pineapple – I love adding pineapple to this potato salad but I happen to know not everyone loves fruit in their salad. If you absolutely hate it, you can leave the pineapple out, but I would urge you to keep it in. It’s a great addition!
- Chili – For a bit of heat I add a few red chili peppers. Again, totally optional, but highly recommended!
How To Make The Potato Salad With Sausage
Making this potato salad is no rocket science. It just involves a bit of chopping to make sure all ingredients are bite-sized. It does help to make the salad a bit in advance as the flavors get even better after a few hours. Or make it the day before you want to serve this. That’s totally fine too. If you want to you can even replace the regular potatoes with sweet potatoes, although the flavor may be completely different.
