Roughly dice the peeled potatoes and the trimmed carrots. Roughly chop the onion. Boil everything together with the Mettwurst in salted water until the potatoes are tender. This should be the case after about 20 minutes. Remove the sausages and drain the cooking water. Now mash the whole thing with a potato masher, adding the butter and milk, until it reaches the desired consistency. We usually leave it a bit coarser. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cut the Mettwurst into small pieces and add it back to the mash. We omit the sausage juice. Serve with the cooled applesauce. We always use homemade pure applesauce with pieces. The puree from a tetra pack distorts the flavor. But you can use it from a jar if necessary.
