Savory Sausage and Potato Stew

Savory Sausage and Potato Stew
This hearty stew fills the kitchen with the rich aroma of smoked sausage, paprika, and simmering potatoes. It’s humble, deeply satisfying comfort food—creamy from heavy cream, brightened by tomatoes and white wine, with a gentle kick from sambal. Perfect for cold days, it comes together with simple ingredients and rewards patience. Serve it hot, garnished with parsley and paired with crusty bread for soaking up every last drop.
Ingredients
  • 800 g (1.75 lbs) Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 6 mild Italian sausages (or smoked pork sausages), about 450 g (1 lb) total
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) smoked bacon, diced
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 20 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 dl (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) dry white wine
  • 1 dl (1/2 cup) chili sauce (like Mexican-style red chili sauce, not sweet)
  • 3 dl (1 1/4 cups) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp sambal oelek (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2.5 cm (1 inch) chunks

2. Place in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil

3. Cook for 5 minutes until just beginning to soften, then drain and set aside

4. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, fry the diced smoked bacon over medium heat until crisp

5. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot

6. Add the butter to the pot, then sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes

7. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant

8. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes until they begin to soften and release juice

9. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits

10. Stir in the chili sauce and sambal oelek

11. Return the bacon to the pot, then add the sausages (whole or sliced, depending on type)

12. Add the parboiled potatoes and stir gently to combine

13. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until evenly incorporated

14. Season lightly with salt and pepper (be cautious—sausage and bacon add salt)

15. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low

16. Cover and cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and sausages are fully heated through

17. Taste and adjust seasoning with more pepper, salt, or sambal if needed

18. Serve hot, garnished generously with fresh parsley
