What is the best side to serve with sausages?

Potatoes are, without question, the best when it comes to barbecues. Whether roasted, cooked in foil over the coals, made into a creamy gratin dauphinois, or mashed, potatoes are the perfect side dish for sausages and cured meats.

Homemade fries are also a fantastic choice. You can make them in a fryer or roast them in the oven, with endless variations: classic potato fries, sweet potato fries, carrot fries, zucchini fries, or even eggplant fries—the possibilities are endless!

For a lighter option, consider classic salads. For a refreshing twist, mix vegetables with fruits, such as tomatoes with strawberries or chunks of watermelon, for example. You can also add pasta, rice, or any grain to create more substantial salads.

And for something super simple, try making papillotes (foil packets). Just slice fresh vegetables, season them to taste, and wrap them in aluminum foil. It’s an easy, flavourful side that’s sure to please!
