Learn how to make this easy yet traditional and comforting fine Swiss dish Papet Vaudois at your very own kitchen.
Papet Vaudois is a very popular dish from the Vaud canton in Switzerland. This is another one of a super easy dish to make and a one-pot too. The creamy leeks and potatoes are served with the Vaud smoked pork (and beef) sausage. This is actually also a highly-recommended winter dish from A Taste Of Switzerland cookbook by Sue Style. If you can’t find the Vaud sausage, you can substitute with any large, smoked boiling sausage (uncooked).

Made this yesterday. I had to use German brockwurst as it was the closest thing to Vaud sausage I could get. I used a little more stock. It was delicious.
