Thank you Mark. This is right on. I’m going to give your sausage a try. This recipe sounds like what I grew up with in Minnesota. Have a great day be safe.
What you cooked wasn't what I know as Swedish sausage. Ground Beef (no pork used in my grandparents' recipe) Raw Potato Raw Onion S&P Allspice I forget the amounts off top of my head. Do not overmix the mixture. Stuff into beef casings and boil in water to cover. Over the years my family has modified the recipe for convenience. My aunt doesn't peel the potatoes and makes a meat loaf out of it. My sister uses frozen hash browns. I'm in Minneapolis. Have you been to Ingebretsen's? Scandinavian meat market on Lake Street. 101 years at that location.
Thanks for the heads up on Ingebretsen's Kate. I wonder if they carry Swedish anchovies? Every recipe and tradition is different. Onion was not tolerated by my dad in Swedish sausage. For a while, I added some beef, and other seasonings. My family preferred the basic pork, potatoes, salt and pepper. I am making a batch today, but our pastured pork is so lean, I bought some leaf lard at the co-op, to add some fat. I par cook the potatoes, and use potato water as the liquid, to serve as a binder. The lutefisk looks good this year, too. Happy Holidays!
@@backwoodbasics9383 It's possible. You can check their website. I know they carry lots of packaged Scandinavian foods. I don't recall my grandparents adding water to their mix. I only "helped" them make it once and they've been gone 35 years now. Merry Christmas 🎄
Yup. Shredded potatoes work. I like par cooking fresh potatoes for 2 reasons. One, we can use our own, and having some starchy potato water work as a binder for sausage. Getting to be that time of year again!

I just buy frozen shredded potatoes. I did just get a stand mixer. I will look into a grinder.
