Stadtwurst and Potato Salad Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 4 Stadtwurst sausages
- 4 medium-sized potatoes
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

2. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

3. Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Add the diced red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped dill to the potatoes.

4. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss to coat. Set aside.

5. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the Stadtwurst sausages for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
