Learn how to easily make French sausages at home. They are not much different than Italian sausages other than the flavorings. In France, these sausages are called saucisses de Campagne or country sausages. They are coarse cut with a highly seasoned filling. Perfect for outdoor eating and grilling. As an added bonus, I cook the sausages with potatoes lyonnaise (pommes lyonnaise), a classic French potato preparation that is delicious and easy to make at home.

For this recipe, you will need to have a meat grinder of some kind for this recipe or at least know someone who does. The good news is attachments for kitchen aid mixers are inexpensive, about $35. You can buy the exact same grinder I have here. You will also need to buy sausage casings which can be found in some grocery stores and specialty markets or online. If you don’t find any just roll the sausage meat into a sausage shape and cook in a pan.

My earliest attempt at cookery began with the filleting of my sister's goldfish at age 2 and cooking my pet rabbits by age 7. Life has been downhill ever since.
