HOW TO: Perfect Sausage Patties
HOW TO: Perfect Sausage Patties
Perfect Slices
Select your favorite brand & flavor:
1 - 16 oz pkg Pork Sausage Roll
Must not be frozen, defrost in the refrigerator overnight for perfect texture
Should be refrigerator temperature for precise slicing
Remove plastic packaging, keeping the roll intact
Use a sharp knife to slice the full length of the plastic sleeve and cut the plastic ends to remove the metal ring, then peal back the plastic
Use a sharp knife and mark where it will be sliced
For 1 oz slices, mark half (2), half each (4), then half again (8) and a final half (16)
10 slices is much easier, allowing for patties that are about 1.5 oz
Use non-flavored dental floss (or a length of thread) to cut at the marks into individual slices
Slide the floss under the tube of sausage
At each mark: bring the two ends up over the top, cross, and pull tightly together, slicing through the sausage and creating a perfect disk
Pan Fry
Heat a skillet over medium heat
Place the patties in the hot skillet, arranging in a single layer (divide into batches if needed)
Cook until browned (5-6 minutes), flip and continue cooking until the patty is cooked through (3-4 minutes)
Remove fully cooked patties from skillet, placing on a paper-towel lined plate
Transfer patties a serving platter
