Potato Salad with Sweet Sausages and Mushrooms

Preparation

Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water; cook over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain. Cool to room temperature before slicing into 1/4-inch slices. Place potatoes in a large bowl.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Put sausages in a single layer in a baking dish and prick several times with a fork. Bake 15 minutes. Turn sausages and bake an additional 15 minutes. Add red wine to pan, turn sausages, and bake 8 minutes. Turn sausages once more and bake 7 minutes longer or until cooked through. Remove sausages to a dish and let cool. Cut into 1/2-inch slices and add to potatoes.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add mushrooms and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring until they give up their liquid and most of it evaporates, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle on lemon juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the TABASCO® Sauce. Add to potato mixture along with green onions and toss lightly to mix.

In a food processor or blender, combine mustard, salt, pepper, white wine, stock, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons TABASCO® Sauce. Turn on machine and slowly add remaining 2/3 cup olive oil. Pour dressing over potato mixture and toss to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
