Ingredients

1 lb SMOKED TURKEY SAUSAGE

1/2 lb new potatoes, well scrubbed, unpeeled and cut in 1/2-inch wedges

1 lb shredded Irish Cheddar cheese

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

3/4 to 1 c Irish pale lager (Harp)

1/3 c strong apple cider or frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed

1 tbsp Irish mustard

Directions

Grill or broil sausage until temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Cut into 1/2-inch slices.

Steam potato wedges until tender, about 15 minutes. Keep warm.

Fondue: In a small bowl, stir cheese and flour together.

In a 2-quart saucepan, over medium heat, bring lager, juice/cider and mustard to a simmer. Slowly stir in cheese, stirring constantly, until creamy and smooth. If desired, add additional lager for a thinner sauce.

Place fondue pot over heat. Garnish with pepper slices, if desired.

Serve with heated smoked turkey sausage and steamed new potatoes.
