German Potato Salad with Sausage

Step 1

Place the 1.5 lb potatoes in a pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 2

While potatoes cook, place the 3 eggs in a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 10 minutes. Drain, cool under cold water, and peel.

Step 3

Slice the 12 oz sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Heat a large skillet over medium-high, add the sausage, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 sliced red onion. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Whisk in the 1/4 cup vinegar and 1 tbsp mustard. Simmer for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Slice the warm potatoes and eggs. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, eggs, sausage, and the warm dressing. Toss gently to coat.

Step 7

Stir in the 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.
