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 1 kg 500 g potatoes.

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.
Keeping
Several days in the fridge, in a closed jar.

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.
