"It is always wise to make too much potato salad. Even if you are cooking for two, make enough for five." -Laurie Colwin

The refrigerator light goes on...

Sautéing the minced sausage both brings out the flavor and renders the fat so that it can become the vehicle for the dressing. This is a great technique for potato salad because the sausage brings so much flavor but also some saltiness. You can use almost any sausage and that will take your potato salad in a new direction - Italian, andouille or even a sweet maple flavor.

I look for sausages that contain about 350 milligrams of sodium in an ounce. They will add a lot of flavor, but as with this recipe, do sometimes need a bit of added salt to make the potato salad flavorful. If you find a sausage that you love but it is saltier, wait to add your salt at the end of the dish - you might not need as much.
