Our local Finnish society is having a fundraiser for their building repairs. Being 100% Finn I thought it only appropriate to support their efforts! I just finished (:emoji_laughing:) a 10# batch of Perunamakkara (Potato sausage). These are fully cooked in a water bath and will be quick frozen, and vacuum packed in 4 packs. My donation is a double batch of this recipe.

2# beef chuck
1# pork butt
1.5# Yukon gold potatoes
1# yellow onion
3 T ground allspice
2 T coarse kosher salt

Grind meat twice thru medium plate. Grind potatoes and onion once thru medium plate. Mix all together with spices. Stuff in natural casings. I let these rest overnight in fridge and then sous vide the next day until internal temp was achieved.
These are a very mild sausage. One of our favorites browned in a pan with a little fat.

Nice! The only Potato sausage I've made was from CrankyBuzzard's recipe. It's been a few years but it was next on my to do list.
I'm going to try your recipe....
Do you pre-cook the potatos at all?
 
Nice to have traditions. I'm on other side of the water and Nordic. Our potato sausage is also pretty bland except for the floral note of cardamom

Not seen much of CrankyBuzzard. I follow his youtube and not post there either in a while.

No, the potatoes are raw when ground.
