Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vaudois pork sausages (or other high-quality smoked pork sausage)
- 500 grams Leeks
- 500 grams Waxy potatoes (e.g., Yukon Gold)
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 milliliters Dry white wine
- 500 milliliters Chicken stock
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt (optional, to taste)
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 15 grams Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Trim and clean the leeks. Slice them into 1 cm (1/2 inch) rounds and set them aside.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks, approximately 2-3 cm.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
Add the sliced leeks to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to release their moisture.
Pour in the white wine and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the wine to simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the potatoes to the pot, followed by the chicken stock. Stir gently to combine.
Season with ground white pepper and salt, adjusting to taste.
Nestle the pork sausages on top of the leek and potato mixture. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let everything simmer gently for 40-45 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure the liquid covers the ingredients, adding a splash of water or stock if necessary.
Once the potatoes are tender and the sausages are cooked through, remove the sausages and set them aside on a plate.
Add the heavy cream to the pot and stir it into the leek and potato mixture. Simmer uncovered for 3-5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Slice the sausages into rounds or leave them whole for serving. Return them to the pot to warm through.
Serve the Papet Vaudois hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair with crusty bread and a glass of white wine for an authentic experience.
