Recipe Notes

Sautéing the minced sausage both brings out the flavor and renders the fat so that it can become the vehicle for the dressing. This is a great technique for potato salad because the sausage brings so much flavor but also some saltiness. You can use almost any sausage and that will take your potato salad in a new direction – Italian, andouille or even a sweet maple flavor.

"It is always wise to make too much potato salad. Even if you are cooking for two, make enough for five."
