"If one had to choose the Vaudois dish, it would be the Papet vaudois. Papet equates mash - for traditionally, this delicious hotpot made from leek and potatoes has to be cooked long enough to create a thickened base upon which the fat Saucisson vaudois, a sausage stuffed with fluffy meat, may settle comfortably on top." This is a Swiss recipe from: http://www.myswitzerland.com

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
6 - leeks, including (all but the toughest bits) green parts, cut into two inch long strips
4 - vaud sausages (smoked pork, beef or veal sausages)
30 gram(s) butter
1 medium onion, minced
300 milliliter(s) dry white wine
300 milliliter(s) beef stock
200 milliliter(s) half and half
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt and 1?2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoon(s) nutmeg (recipe says 2 tbsp! but even 2 tsp's sounds like a lot to me so go with what works for you) )
3 tablespoon(s) fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook the onion with butter in a large skillet under medium-high heat until soft, not brown.
  • Add the leeks and potatoes. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • Add the wine and beef stock, cover and simmer for 25 minutes until the potatoes are lightly cooked.
  • Meanwhile, pre-cook the sausages in a pan containing just enough oil to brown the sausages nicely as they pre-cook. Cook until the sausages are two-thirds done, between 15 and 30 minutes depending on the size of the sausages.
  • Drain the leek/potato mixture and simmer for 5 more minutes. Don't drain completely if you want to keep some of the wine taste.
  • Add the light cream to the drained potatoes and leeks and stir.
  • Lay the pre-boiled sausages on top.
  • Cover and simmer for a further 3-4 minutes.
