Beer-Braised Sausages with Warm Potato Salad

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lb sweet Italian sausages
1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
12 oz pale ale beer
1 1/2 lb small red potatoes, halved
Coarse salt
Ground pepper
1 Tbsp red-wine vinegar
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method:

1. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 1 Tbsp oil over medium-high. Add sausages and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.
2. Add onion and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.
3. Add beer, potatoes, and 2 cups water; season with salt and pepper and press to submerge potatoes in cooking liquid.
4. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
5. Transfer sausages to a serving platter and keep warm.
6. In a large bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, and parsley. With a slotted spoon, transfer potato mixture to dressing(reserve cooking liquid) and toss to combine.
7. Return pot to high heat; boil cooking liquid until reduced to 1 cup, about 12 minutes. Return sausages to pot and cook until heated through, 2 minutes.
8. Place sausages and dressed potatoes on serving platter; drizzle half the sauce over top. Serve sausages and potatoes with remaining sauce alongside.
