📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Papet vaudois is the signature dish of Vaud in French-speaking western Switzerland. Leeks and potatoes are cooked down in milk until meltingly soft and served with saucisson vaudois, a smoked sausage cooked alongside. Humble but deeply satisfying, it's a home-cooked dish for warming up on cold winter days.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a farmhouse table in Vaud in winter, a big pot of papet vaudois and sausage is set out for a warm family meal.
