Sausage With Smashed Potatoes and Cornichons
Quentin Bacon
How to Make It
Step 1
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil.
Step 2
Add 2 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the sausages to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 5
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornichon brine, mustard, remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Step 6
Add the potatoes, cornichons, onion, and parsley to the bowl and mix, mashing gently. Cut the sausages into large pieces and serve with the potatoes.

No problems putting this together! The dish has several different flavors going for it: sweet, tart, and a lil spice...they all combine pretty well. I rarely see recipes that are rated 5 stars on here so I was wary of it at first, but after tasting this, I believe it earned them.

I guess if someone wants to get technical, the cornichon is a small-growing gherkin plant but most people use the French term "cornichon" so we know what pickle is being spoken of. Whereas, what people called Gherkin is actually a cucumber, often the Burr Gherkin or West Indian - larger and different vinegar, brine & seasonings in many regions. The cornichon, however, is not a cucumber and its name clearly implies the type of pickled vegetable to be used in the recipe; otherwise, people would be chopping up those hideous jumbo pickles! As for the recipe, it looks wonderful by its simplicity - will definitely make tonight. Thank you.

Cornichons are quite different than gerkins - they're tart and very light green. Gerkins look just like and taste like pickles, only their mini.

Would have been nice if you'd also called cornichons what we know them as...gerkins.
