Preheat the oven to 200°C (top-bottom) or 180°C with fan. Prepare a baking tray or a heatproof dish measuring about 20×30 cm and line it with baking paper or lightly grease it with oil. Wash the potatoes under running water, do not peel if they are young; cut larger ones in half or quarters to ensure similar size. Peel the onion and cut it in half, then slice each half into wedges about 5 mm thick. Peel the garlic and finely chop it or press it through a garlic press.
Description
Traditional Polish white sausage baked in an aromatic beer sauce with onions and marjoram, served with young roasted potatoes. The dish combines the classic, slightly tangy taste of light beer with the tenderness of white sausage, the sweetness of caramelized onions, and the herbal note of marjoram. Perfect as a main course for a family dinner or Sunday gathering, it pairs wonderfully with mustard and fresh chives. Visually: a golden sausage skin and browned potatoes in beer sauce with pieces of soft onion.

Preparation steps
Preparation of ingredients
Preparing the marinade
In a large bowl, combine light beer (400 ml) with mustard (50 g), rapeseed oil (30 g), chopped garlic (20 g), and marjoram (2 g). If you want to soften the bitterness, optionally add honey (15 g). Season lightly with salt (about 3 g for the marinade) and black pepper (2 g). Mix with a whisk or spoon to ensure the mustard is well incorporated into the liquid.
Assembly in the dish
Arrange the prepared potatoes in the bottom of the dish with various sides facing up (skin side up if they are young), sprinkle them evenly with salt (the remaining 3 g), and gently drizzle with oil, mixing with your hands or a spoon. Evenly distribute the chopped onion on top of the potatoes. Place the white sausage on the layer of potatoes and onions – you can make shallow diagonal cuts in the casing with a knife 2-3 times on each piece (shallow cuts, 2-3 mm) to prevent it from bursting and to allow the sauce to penetrate inside.
Baking
Pour the prepared marinade into the dish so that the liquid reaches 1/3 of the height of the sausage (the beer should cover the potatoes and onion). Cover the dish with aluminum foil or a tight-fitting lid and place it in the preheated oven. Bake covered for 25 minutes to soften the potatoes and allow the flavors to meld. After 25 minutes, remove the lid/foil, increase the temperature to 210°C if you want to brown the skin more, and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the sausage is browned, the onion is soft and slightly caramelized, and the sauce has reduced to a thick glaze.
Finishing the sauce (optional)
If you want to achieve a creamy sauce: take the sausage and potatoes out of the dish and place them on a plate, covering with foil to keep warm. Place the dish over low heat (if you have a cast iron dish, you can put it on the stove) and cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the sauce to reduce and concentrate the flavor. Lower the heat and pour in the 12% cream (100 g), stirring, and heat for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Additionally, you can add honey (if not added earlier) to balance the bitterness.
Resting and Serving
After baking, let the sausage rest on a board for 5 minutes — the juices will stabilize and the sausage won't crumble when cutting. Slice the sausage into pieces diagonally, about 2-3 cm, and serve with potatoes, drizzled with the sauce from the dish. Sprinkle with freshly chopped chives (30 g) for color and a fresh aroma.
Serving
On each plate, arrange a portion of potatoes, a few pieces of sliced sausage, and drizzle with a spoonful of sauce. You can place a teaspoon of mustard next to it. Garnish with chives. The dish is best served immediately while the sausage skin is crispy and the potatoes are hot.
Fun Fact
White sausage has a long tradition in Poland and appears in regional versions prepared for Easter and other holidays. Baking in beer is an idea that uses the fermentation aromas of beer to enhance the flavor of the meat.

Tips
Serve with mustard and pickled cucumber or a fresh cabbage salad. For drinking, choose a light pale beer of the same variety in which you baked the sausage, or dried fruit compote for a non-alcoholic option.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 48 hours. To reheat — place in an oven preheated to 180°C for 8-10 minutes to restore the crispiness of the crust. Repeatedly reheating meat is not recommended.
