Mom's Italian Sausage Patties

When I was growing up, my mom had her own little delicatessen in Utica, New York, where she made the best Homemade Italian Sausage Patties.

There’s something incredibly special about recipes that have stood the test of time — especially when they come from Mom’s kitchen

This baked sausage patty recipe has been in our family for over 100 years, passed down through generations, and made in every shape imaginable.

From classic round Italian patties to hearty sausage logs and even hand-formed rustic shapes, this recipe has always been as versatile as it is delicious.

Unlike store-bought sausage, this homemade version is full of rich, savory flavor and simple ingredients you can trust.

Baking makes it easy, less messy than stovetop frying, and perfect for making large batches however, you can also fry or air fry them.

Whether you use it shaped into patties, formed into logs, or left loose for crumbles, this old-fashioned sausage recipe is pure comfort food with history in every bite.

We sometimes even add potatoes to this sausage patty meal, and leftover patties are great, adding a Traditional Italian Sunday Tomato Sauce.

Mom also had a hand-cranked manual machine to make sausage links, patties, skewers, and even keep some loose for her homemade sausage rolls!
