This Smoked Swedish Potato Sausage Recipe has been our family’s Christmas eve dinner for many generations. In fact, this is a fresh sausage recipe. If you’re going to smoke it, use the proper amount of Cure #1. You may have to play with the amount of water a bit. Use more or less water to get the consistency you want. It will depend on water content of the potatoes. I usually end up adding about a cup more of water, so the sausage isn’t too dry when cooked. You can freeze, cook, or store in a refrigerated salt-water brine until used. It will hold this way for a week, which works for us as this is Christmas Eve and New Years Eve dinner.
