Need some sausage

[Nick Prochilo]

Well I needed some Italian sausage for a stuffed loin of pork I'm doing tomorrow for a potluck dinner. I decided to make my own. Then I said if I'm gonna bring out all the tools, I might as well make a whole batch. Well I ended up making 5 lbs. each of Italian, potato, roasted garlic and bratwurst. Here's a couple pics of the potato that we had for dinner tonight. I'll post the finished pics of the others tomorrow when I get them ready for the freezer.

A couple of them

Start with one sliced

Some mushrooms and honey mustard

Looks good. What actually is in potato sausage?

Has a good Italian recipe been posted on the forum? I'd like to make some Italian sausage myself.

Nick those look great!
Italian sausage is next on my list. Maybe the potato too

I hope to make sausage one day.

Looks real good Nick.

Great looking sausage Nick. Like Wittdog says " It doesn't matter if you make 5 lbs Or 50 lbs, The clean up time is the same."

I saw them last night. I refreshed the page this morning and 2 of the three showed up. I think it may be the picture hosting site having problems. They were also on the hosting site when I clicked on the thumbnail.

Cool...works now...how was the tater sausage?

 

[Nick Prochilo]

The tater was real good, I just have to cut back a bit on the caraway seeds. I'll post the recipe in the recipe section.

Here's the pics of the Roasted garlic and the Bratwurst. The Italian I didn't pack into casings. I used 1/2 for a stuffed loin of pork, the other 1/2 I'm saving in bags in the freezer for fatties!

Looks awesome Nick!
I'll bet those fatties will turn out great using your own ground meat.

Nick,

What kind of casing did you used?

 

[Nick Prochilo]

Nick,

What kind of casing did you used?

I used collagen this time because this was a spur of the moment thought and I had no time to prep hog casings. The collagen won't hold a knot or twisting, you have to tie each link with a piece of twine. Wasn't a problem, just a little more time consuming.

Nick
Is collagen a man made product?
Did you use butchers twine?

 

[Nick Prochilo]
