A classic summer dish in the Masurian style: juicy Masurian sausage served with young potatoes, butter, and a generous amount of fresh dill. This simple, hearty, and child-friendly dish is perfect for a family barbecue or an outdoor lunch. The sausage has a distinctive, lightly smoked flavor, the potatoes are soft and tender inside, and the dill adds freshness and aroma. Serve with sour cream or mild mustard for kids, pickled cucumber as a crunchy side, and a light salad of tomato and cucumber. Visually, the dish is rustic: golden sausages next to halved potatoes sprinkled with green dill.

Wash the potatoes under running water with a vegetable brush, leaving the skin on (young potatoes have thin skin). If the tubers are large, cut them in half so that the pieces are of similar size — this will ensure even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water so that the water covers the potatoes by about 2 cm. Add a pinch of salt (about 1 g). Put the pot on high heat; once it boils, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12–18 minutes depending on the size (check with a fork — the potato is ready when the fork goes in easily and without resistance).
Drain the potatoes in a colander. If you want to serve them with the skin on: place them back in the warm pot, add butter (30 g) and gently shake the pot or stir with a wooden spoon for 1 minute, so that the butter melts evenly and coats the potatoes. Sprinkle with finely chopped dill (about 1/2 bunch, which is about 15 g) and season with 2 pinches of salt and 1 pinch of pepper to taste.
Remove the sausages from the packaging and dry them with a paper towel. If the sausage has a very thin casing, you can gently score it diagonally every 2–3 cm — this will prevent it from bursting and will give it a nice color.
Preheat the grill to medium-high temperature (about 200–220°C). If you are using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are covered with light ash. Lightly brush the sausages with canola oil to prevent sticking. Place the sausages on the grill and cook for 10–14 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes — look for an even, golden-brown color and slight shrinkage. Cut one sausage in half: the inside should be hot, juicy, and free of raw pink parts.
Transfer the grilled sausages to a plate. Arrange a portion of young potatoes sprinkled with the remaining chopped dill next to them. Add 1/2 tablespoon of mustard (if using) to the sour cream (150 g) or serve the sour cream separately as a dip — it's better for children to have it separately so they can season it themselves.
On each plate, place one or two sausages (depending on your appetite), a portion of young potatoes, and a small bowl of sour cream. Additionally, serve sliced pickled cucumber as a crunchy element. Garnish with an extra sprig of dill for color.
After grilling, turn off the grill or cover the coals with ash, set the tools aside, and wash the board and knives. Make sure that children are kept away from the hot grill and heated grates.
Masurian sausage originates from the Masuria region and is known for its gentle smoking and the use of local spices. In Masuria, it is often served straight from the fire or grill, which emphasizes its rustic character.
Serve hot immediately after removing from the grill. For younger children, cut the sausage into slices, serve the potatoes slightly mashed with butter and dill. Serve the sour cream and mustard separately so everyone can season the dish to their taste.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for 10–12 minutes at 160°C or in a pan over low heat to prevent the sausage from drying out. Do not freeze cooked potatoes with butter (the texture will change).
