Ingredients
Scale
Meats:
- 2 lb (907 g) fresh veal or chicken sausages (8 large sausages)
Potatoes and Dairy:
- 2 lb (907 g) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 4 tablespoons (½ stick or 57 g) unsalted butter, diced
- ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk
- 4 ounces (113 g) crème fraîche
Seasonings:
- Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes by submerging them in a large saucepan with salt and sufficient water to completely cover. Bring liquid to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes until potatoes become exceptionally tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain potatoes thoroughly in a colander, then return them to the original saucepan. Incorporate butter, milk, and crème fraîche into the potatoes. Utilize a handheld electric mixer to whip the mixture until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency, gradually adding additional milk if the texture appears too thick.
- Enhance the potato mixture by stirring in Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, dry mustard powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer the mustard-infused mash to a heat-resistant bowl positioned over a pot of simmering water to maintain warmth.
- Prepare the sausages by preheating an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Position sausages on the grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side, rotating once, until they develop a rich golden-brown exterior and are completely cooked through.
- Remove sausages from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes, which helps redistribute internal juices and ensures optimal flavor and tenderness.
- Plate the dish by generously spooning the mustard-seasoned mashed potatoes onto individual serving plates. Artfully arrange the grilled sausages on top, cutting them diagonally for an elegant presentation that enhances visual appeal.
Notes
- Select Golden Potatoes for Ultimate Creaminess: Yukon Gold potatoes deliver the most luxurious, smooth texture without turning into a sticky mess, making them the perfect mashing companion.
- Layer Mustard Magic into Your Dish: Combining Dijon, whole-grain, and dry mustards creates an explosive flavor profile that transforms ordinary mashed potatoes into a gourmet experience.
- Maintain Potato Temperature Brilliance: Hovering your potato bowl over a gentle water bath keeps the mash hot and creamy, preventing unwanted cooling and maintaining that just-made restaurant-quality warmth.
- Master Sausage Grilling Technique: Medium-high heat ensures perfectly cooked sausages with beautiful char marks, preventing split casings and guaranteeing a juicy, delectable bite every single time.
- Allow Sausage Resting Magic: Letting grilled sausages relax under a foil tent allows internal juices to redistribute, resulting in tender, succulent meat that’s packed with incredible flavor and moisture.
