Smoked some Andouille today.
I was watching an episode of Chef Paul Prudhomme, Always Cooking several months ago, and he mentioned his own brand of andouille. He said that his recipe was handed down from generation to generation and it had chunks of onion and red potato. I had to try it. Couldn't find a recipe with onion and potatoes, so I took what I had, cut the hot pepper down a bit (want to eat mine on a bun) and added small chunks of red potatoes and onions. The result is fantastic. Hot still, but not painful.:sausage:
I actually stuffed these a couple of months ago, and pulled them out of the freezer to smoke this time.
Smoked with red oak as a base and a split of shag-bark hickory when needed.

Wow, them sure look good!

Dang Gunny, that looks great!

Man they look great!

Dang... I wanna dinner invite, Tom! You never cease to impress me with the variety and quality of your vittles!

Yessir Gunny, you've done it again. I went and drooled on the keyboard again. Those are some fine looking sausages.:thumb:

Been wanting to make this. I've read Rytecs recipe a few times and it looks good. I like that you added potatos to it. Yours looks very good! Gotta give this one a try.

They do look good.. How many pounds did you make?? 5? also with the taters and onions??

Great looking bangers.
Potatoe and oinions eh ?

How small did you cut them ?

Ken I only did 3 lbs of these because I wasn't sure about the potatoes. But I will most definitely be making more. They're great.

I cubed the potatoes and onions to about 1/4 by 1/4 by 1/4 inch. Maybe a little bigger.

Cool One... Bump

Dang Scott. You dug up an old one here.
I've since revised this with more sweet paprika for color and cayenne for more heat. I also tried Yukon Gold taters and it was super flavorful.
Next time, I'm gonna throw in some super sharp pepper jack cheese with those taters and onions.

Ol Scott seems to have a case of the measles he has been full of bumps latley. Nice to bring up some of these great threads. Thanks Scott

Yeah thanks Scott this was before I was around. My BIL makes a Swedish potato sausage that is awesome. I like this idea.:thumb:

Great looking sausage...
