Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb (907 g) fresh veal or chicken sausages (8 large sausages)
- 2 lb (907 g) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 4 tbsps (½ stick or 57 g) unsalted butter, diced
- ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk
- 4 oz (113 g) crème fraîche
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp whole-grain mustard
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- Kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Potato Preparation: Submerge potatoes in a large saucepan with salt and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Mash Creation: Drain potatoes and return to the saucepan. Blend in butter, milk, and crème fraîche using an electric mixer until achieving a smooth, creamy texture. Incorporate Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, dry mustard powder, salt, and black pepper. Transfer to a warming bowl to maintain temperature.
- Sausage Grilling: Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Cook sausages for approximately 5 minutes per side, rotating once, until golden-brown and thoroughly cooked. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes under foil to redistribute internal juices.
- Plating Artistry: Spoon mustard-infused mashed potatoes onto serving plates. Arrange grilled sausages on top, cutting diagonally for an elegant presentation. Serve immediately while flavors and temperatures are at their peak.
Notes
- Potato Perfection: Select starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the creamiest, most luxurious mash texture.
- Mustard Mastery: Mix different mustard varieties to create a complex, layered flavor profile that elevates the entire dish.
- Grilling Pro Tip: Let sausages rest after cooking to seal in juices and prevent dryness, ensuring maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Temperature Control: Keep mashed potatoes warm over simmering water to maintain optimal serving consistency and prevent cooling.
