BEER-BRAISED SAUSAGES WITH WARM POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add sausages and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Add beer, potatoes, and 2 cups water; season with salt and pepper and press to submerge potatoes in cooking liquid. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer sausages to a serving platter and keep warm. In a large bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, and parsley. With a slotted spoon, transfer potato mixture to dressing (reserve cooking liquid) and toss to combine.
• Return pot to high heat; boil cooking liquid until reduced to 1 cup, about 12 minutes. Return sausages to pot and cook until heated through, 2 minutes. Place sausages and dressed potatoes on serving platter; drizzle half the sauce over top. Serve sausages and potatoes with remaining sauce alongside.

HERBED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the whole potatoes, salt, and pepper and toss well. Cover the pot tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender when tested with a small knife. From time to time, shake the pot without removing the lid to prevent the bottom potatoes from burning. Turn off the heat and allow the potatoes to steam for another 5 minutes. Don't overcook! Toss with the herbs, and serve hot.

BEER, BACON & ONION BRAISED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Bacon and Onions -- In a large sauce pan, add the butter and bacon and saute until the bacon starts to render some of the drippings, just a couple of minutes on medium low heat. You DON'T want the bacon to crisp up. Then add in the onions, garlic, herbs and stir another couple of minutes.
• Potatoes and Beer -- If you are using bigger potatoes, you may want to cut them in quarters. Add in the potatoes and toss well to combine all the flavors. Then add in a pinch of salt, pepper and the beer. Go easy on the salt and pepper as you can re-season once the dish is cooked. It will take about 30 minutes, covered, but I like to vent the lid just a bit so some of the liquid will evaporate. Cook until the potatoes are tender. Once tender, re-check if you need to add any additional salt and pepper. And again, cooking time can vary.
• NOTE: As one reviewer mentioned, Theirs took much longer. Remember this depends on the size of your pot, and most importantly on the size of the potatoes. The time is NOT set in stone as this can vary.
• Serve -- Just serve the potatoes with the sauce in a large bowl and make sure you give them a big spoon so they can add some of the sauce over the potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley. ENJOY!
