Kartoffell Wurst Schmoren Potato Stew

December 23rd, 2012

Or potato sausage stew. This is a recipe I saw at a cooking demonstration at the Robert’s Cove Germanfest. It’s a locally famous recipe in their community belonging to Antonia Thevis Hoffpauir who gave the demonstration. She is an amazing person with quite a personality and I very much enjoyed the presentation.(not to mention the stew was awesome) I don’t remember the exact details but she had actually won a number of cooking contests including representing the entire state of Louisiana at some point. Anyway I wanted to post this recipe out here so I didn’t lose it. It’s appropriate to my beer website as I saw it at an Oktoberfest event and it’ll be great for my future Oktoberfest celebrations.

2lbs smoked sausage
10 large red potatoes, cubed
1/4 cup green onion chopped
1 large onion diced
2 1/2 cups of water
1/4 cup parsley chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Cut sausage into one inch pieces. Put in large pot with one cup water and boil until water evaporates and sausage browns in it’s own grease. Add chopped onions and saute until clear. Add cubed potatoes and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Add onion tops and parsley. Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes stirring frequently to prevent sticking until potatoes are tender. Serves six to eight. This recipe may be doubled if needed.
