This is a ring of Swedish Potato Sausage - finely ground pork, onions, and potatoes. A distinctly bland sausage w/o herbs or spice except maybe nutmeg or sage. I parboiled it on the stove top in a cast iron pan, poured off the water and finished it off in a 425 degree oven to brown it.

Sauteed onions and mushrooms with parsley and sage are the centerpiece. I usually eat it with yellow mustard.

Last night's epiphany suggested that I accompany the potato sausage with a raspberry jalapeno jam that I got at a local farmer's market. It was the perfect counterpoint to the subtle , harmonious flavors of the pork, potato and onion. Like adding fireworks to a Mn 4th of July. Illegal and delicious.

Put a dollup of sour cream on the mushrooms. Spiced up lingonberries would work, too.
