Morteau sausage
In this recipe, Morteau sausages are cooked on a bed of chopped potatoes.
The trick is to cook the Morteau sausage slowly, so that its delicious, smoky flavor descends on the potatoes, which are crispy on the outside and melt-in-the-mouth on the inside, a pure delight.

Step by step recipe
Stage 1
Peel, 4 litres 500 ml potatoes.
Stage 2 - 15 min.
Cut them into quarters, wash them, then dry them in a cloth.
They should be cut into roughly equal-sized pieces for even cooking, and washed and dried well to remove any starch that might cause them to stick during cooking.

Stage 4 - 3 min.
Remove the string, wooden peg and 6 Morteaux sausage label, then prick them along the entire length and circumference with a fork or sharp knife.
Stage 5 - 40 min.
Place the sausages on top of the potatoes, cover the pan and cook on a very low heat for 40 minutes, covered, without touching or stirring.
It's very important not to stir during the first stage of cooking, otherwise you'll end up with toasted mashed potatoes...

Stage 6 - 5 min.
When this time has elapsed, uncover the pan and remove the sausages to a plate to facilitate further processing.
Stage 7 - 3 min.
Gently toss the potatoes to lift the already-roasted ones to the top.
Stage 8 - 20 min.
Return the Morteau to the potatoes and cook for a further 15-20 minutes, uncovered, to toast the potatoes thoroughly.
Stage 9
Serve in the pan, directly on the table, or on plates with slices of Morteau and potatoes.
Remarks
The best potatoes for this recipe are rattes, BF15s, or any other firm-fleshed variety you can find.
It's not usually necessary to salt the potatoes, as the sausage already contains salt, or to adjust the seasoning just before serving.
See the products page for more information on Morteau sausage.

We call it "gîte sausage", because we always make it on vacation in a gîte in the Haut-Doubs, and there's no good vacation in the Haut-Doubs without gîte sausage.

And to drink?
Without a moment's hesitation, a white wine from the Jura, if possible a Savagnin grape variety. Its extraordinarily dry, fruity taste and nutty aromas go perfectly with Morteau.
