Sausage and potatoes

Portland, November 20, 2011—

THE TITLE TELLS the story: sausage and potatoes, potatoes and sausage. Of those sausages, half came up from Berkeley's Local Butcher, the others are Portland natives. They were quite different, both pork; I wouldn't set one above the other.

The potatoes: well, there's some Jerusalem artichoke in there too, and some carrot, as you see. Roasted in olive oil in the oven, one of our favorite dishes. Thanks, Giovanna!
