Jimmy Dean Warm Potato and Sage Sausage Salad

Submitted by AmyZoe

"I found this recipe on Jimmy Dean's website, and it's a different variation on your traditional potato salad. I was hesitant to make a potato salad without mayonnaise and just mustard, but it's quite good. I used Jimmy Dean's all-natural spicy sausage because I didn't have the sage sausage, and I added sage to the dressing. I also used basil, oregano, marjoram, and thyme but maybe I'm a little excessive. I didn't have red bell peppers, but I did put in yellow and green. I used 2 kinds of potatoes (red and yukon) and a spicy brown mustard because I didn't have whole grain mustard. My bell peppers and parsley were frozen, so I tossed it in with the potato mixture toward the end of cooking. Very fun!"
