Italian Sausage Potato Salad Supper

Yes, you read that correct. I said potato salad. This is SO good. This isn't a meal that is visually pleasing so brace yourself. The original recipe called for 3 lbs of potatoes but that seemed like a LOT. The amount I listed below still provides a very hearty amount of salad. The sister gave this 3.75 stars but prefaced that by describing herself as a potato salad snob. Heathlier versions don't cut it for her.


Italian Sausage Potato Salad Supper
Serves 4

Ingredients:

2.25 lbs Yukon Gold or russet potatoes
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/4 cup white wine
salt
black pepper
1 tbsp minced chives
1/2 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tbsp water
3/4 lb low-fat Italian sausage (I just did a sausage/serving)
16 cups salad greens, washed and dried

Directions:

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Over high heat, bring to a boil, immediately reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are just done, 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.

Prepare dressing by whisking together vinegar, dijon mustard, white wine, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.

When potatoes are cooked through, drain and cool slightly. While potatoes are still warm, peel and cut into 1/2 thick slices. Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper, chives and parsley. Add dressing and mix well.

Place water and sausage in a small non-stick pan set over medium heat. Cover and cook until sausages are firm to the touch and cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Let sausages rest 5 minutes,then cut on the diagonal into 1/2 inch thick slices.

Combine salad greens and dressed potatoes and toss until all greens are well coated. Dish out servings and toss with sausage!
