Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Cook the Andouille Sausage: In a small skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over low heat. Add the andouille sausage and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and thoroughly cooked.

  3. Boil the Potatoes: Place the tiny new potatoes in a small pot, covering them with enough water to submerge them. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly and let the potatoes cook for about 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender.

  4. Mash the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and transfer them to a large bowl. Using a wooden spoon, gently mash the potatoes until they are lumpy but not smooth—this gives the salad a rustic texture.

  5. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cooked andouille sausage, sour cream, chopped green onions, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined.

  6. Season: Taste the mixture and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.

  7. Serve: This dish can be served immediately while warm, or you can refrigerate it and serve cold the next day, allowing the flavors to meld even further.


Tips for Success:

  • Customization: If you want a little extra kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
  • Make Ahead: This salad actually tastes even better when made ahead, as the flavors have time to meld together in the refrigerator.
  • Pairings: It’s great with grilled meats, barbecued dishes, or as a hearty side to your main meal.

This Andouille New Potato Salad offers a satisfying blend of smoky, spicy, and creamy flavors in each bite. With its simple yet bold ingredients, it’s sure to become a favorite at your next cookout or family dinner.


Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference, and enjoy this Southern-inspired dish that’s both easy to make and full of flavor!
