Morteau sausage
In this recipe Morteau sausage is cooked on a bed of potatoes cut into medium sized pieces. The idea of this recipe is that the pricked Morteau sausage cooks slowly, so that its smoky flavour seeps down onto the potatoes - it's a pure delight.

Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 15 min.
Peel, cut into four, then wash and dry 3 kgs potatoes.
They should be cut into equal pieces for regular cooking, washed well and dried to eliminate starch which makes them stick during cooking.

Remove string, wood and label from 4 Morteaux sausage, then prick along whole length and all round with a sharp knife.
Stage 4 - 40 min.
Place sausage on top of potatoes, cover with a lid and leave to cook 40 minutes on low heat, without touching nor stirring.
It's very important to not stir during this first stage of cooking; if not, you will get fried mashed potatoes...

Stage 5 - 5 min.
At the end of this time, remove lid, leave sausage on a plate to facilitate next stage.
Stage 6 - 3 min.
Gently stir potatoes to bring the ones already cooked from the bottom up to the top.
Stage 7 - 20 min.
Prick sausage again, return to pan and leave to cook a further 20 minutes uncovered.
Stage 8
Serve directly from the pan on the table, or on plates by dividing out pieces of sausage and potatoes.
Remarks
You should not salt potatoes otherwise they will stick (and you will have fried mashed potatoes), or maybe at the end just to rectify, but if the sausage is good quality, this is unnecessary.

And to drink?: Without any hesitation, a white wine from the Jura, if possible a savagnin grape: its very dry extraordinarily fruity taste, its nutty aromas go very well with Morteau sausage. I suggest you have a look at my best addresses page, to see my favourite supplier.

I have seen only one time sausage already sell cooked, it was during winter for skiing period, some butchers cook and sell them, so that you can buy for your picnic.
