Warm Potato Salad with Sausage

• 2 or 3 new potatoes
• 1 or 2 large sausages, such as sweet Italian, Polish kielbasa, chorizo, or hard-to-find French garlic sausage
• 2 teaspoons oil
• A splash of red wine
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• A good pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 scallions, sliced
• 2 or 3 fresh sprigs parsley, chopped

1. Boil the potatoes in a small pot with plenty of water for about 20 minutes, or until tender.
2. After about 10 minutes, prick the sausages and put them in a small skillet that youve rubbed with oil.
3. Brown on both sides, and cook slowly, turning occasionally, for a total of about 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make the dressing by mixing all the dressing ingredients in a bowl.
5. When the potatoes are ready, drain them and cut them into fairly thick slices (no need to peel them, unless you prefer to).
6. Toss the warm potatoes with the vinaigrette.
7. At this point, the sausages should be ready.
8. Remove them to a plate, and add a splash of red wine to the pan, cooking it down quickly until it is syrupy.
9. Pour this bit of pan juice over however much of the sausage you plan to eat right away, and serve it to yourself with the warm potato salad.
10. Ive deliberately called for more sausage here than I would eat in one sitting, because I like to have some cooked sausage in the fridge to use in a frittata or an omelet or a hearty soup, or to add to a pasta sauce.
11. Its very handy.
12. So determine for yourself how much sausage you want to cook.
