preparation

Potato salad is served with sausages, traditionally made from pork. To ensure that the sausages cook well on the plancha, prick them all over with a fork and marinate them in red wine, adding the rosemary sprig straight away. If you know my recipes, you'll know that I always recommend Sicilian red wine. Firstly, it's in the blood and secondly, the wines are strong, which I like and goes just as well with pork sausage. You'll soon see how the sausages soak up the red wine. Turn them over and over so that the wine can flow everywhere.

When it's time to eat, place the sausages and rosemary straight from the marinade onto the preheated plancha at full heat. Cover with the cooking hood and brown all over. As soon as they are nicely browned, gradually pour the marinade wine over them. The liquid dissolves the roasted aromas on the plancha, which will recombine with the food by turning the sausages frequently.

For the potato salad, cook the potatoes and carrot in salted water the day before. Rinse with cold water. Cut both into not too large cubes before grilling on the plancha. Drain the gherkins and collect the cucumber juice. Pour this through a sieve, stir in the loose broth and set aside, then dice the gherkins.

First fry the bacon and onions on the hot plancha. As soon as everything has taken on some colour, add the potatoes, fry for 1-2 minutes and then add the carrot and gherkin cubes. Don't forget to stir them regularly.

Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolk with the vegetable oil. I always stir in the pepper here so that I don't forget it later. The mixture on the plancha should now have gained a lot of heat and here, too, I make use of the heat of the plancha by pouring the cucumber juice over it. This seasons it, steams everything well, and at the same time releases the roasted aromas on the plancha, which can now be easily stirred in with the spatula.

As soon as the reactions have calmed down, pour the egg yolk and oil mixture over it and stir well. One minute is enough, otherwise you will end up with fried potatoes. Put in a bowl and serve immediately with the sausages.
