Preparation

Step 1

In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high.
Add sausages and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.
Add onion and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.
Add beer, potatoes, and 2 cups water; season with salt and pepper and press to submerge potatoes in cooking liquid.
Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Transfer sausages to a serving platter and keep warm.

In a large bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, and parsley. With a slotted spoon, transfer potato mixture to dressing (reserve cooking liquid) and toss to combine.
Return pot to high heat; boil cooking liquid until reduced to 1 cup, about 12 minutes.
Return sausages to pot and cook until heated through, 2 minutes.
Place sausages and dressed potatoes on serving platter; drizzle half the sauce over top. Serve sausages and potatoes with remaining sauce alongside.
