Recipe Information

• Serves: 4 people
• Total Time: 1 hour
• Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• For the Potée:
  • 600 g potatoes (for mashing)
  • 600 g carrots
  • 1 shallot
  • 150 g butter
  • 1 liter chicken broth
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 bouquet garni (a bundle of herbs)
  • 4 country sausages

Instructions

1. Finely chop the shallot.
2. Peel the potatoes and carrots, cut them into large cubes, and wash them thoroughly.
3. In a Dutch oven, melt 25 g of butter, then add the shallot. Sauté over low heat for 1 minute until it becomes translucent.
4. Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, followed by salt, pepper, and the bouquet garni. Pour in the chicken broth to cover the vegetables. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
5. Check if the vegetables are cooked through—there should be very little liquid left in the pot.
6. Using a fork, mash the potatoes and carrots slightly while lowering the heat, then incorporate the remaining butter gradually.
7. Grill the sausages and serve them alongside the potée with a small pot of whole grain mustard.
