Instructions

For The Sausage and Potatoes:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Cut 1 ½ - 2 lbs. of country style sausage (or any kind of smoked sausage) into smaller links. Arrange the sausage on top of the potatoes.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes.

For The Mustard Glaze:

  • While the sausage and potatoes are roasting combine 3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, 2 Tbsp. maple syrup, and 2 tsp. red wine vinegar in a small bowl. Stir until completely combined using a fork or small whisk.
  • Heat 2 cups of sauerkraut on the stove top.
  • After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle the mustard glaze over the top of the potatoes and sausage. Toss to coat. Return the pan to the oven for another 4-5 minutes. Remove pan from oven.
  • To serve: Serve the potatoes on a plate and top them with 1-2 sausages. Serve alongside the heated sauerkraut and garnish with fresh herbs (optional).

Notes

Feel free to use any type of smoked sausage you like for this recipe. It's important that the sausage is smoked and not fresh to ensure that it cooks thoroughly in the time given.
Sweeteners such as brown rice syrup, honey, or agave syrup may be used in place of maple syrup.
