Ingredients

While the original British Bangers and Mash typically features pork sausages and plain mashed potatoes, this Argentinian adaptation incorporates Argentinian-style sausages, known as chorizos, which are made with a blend of pork and beef. The mashed potatoes are enhanced with the addition of chimichurri sauce, a traditional Argentinian condiment made with parsley, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil, adding a burst of fresh and tangy flavors to the dish.

Preparation

  1. 1.
    Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
  2. 2.
    Grill the Argentinian-style sausages (chorizos) for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and nicely browned. Set aside.
  3. 3.
    Meanwhile, place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. 4.
    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk and butter. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. 5.
    Serve the grilled sausages on a bed of the creamy mashed potatoes. Drizzle with chimichurri sauce.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Chorizos — Ensure the sausages are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for food safety.
  • Chimichurri sauce — Adjust the amount of garlic and vinegar in the sauce according to your preference for a milder or stronger flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the sausages in chimichurri sauce for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • If you prefer a smoother mashed potato texture, use a potato ricer or food mill instead of mashing by hand.
  • Add a splash of red wine vinegar to the mashed potatoes for a tangy twist.
  • Serve the dish with a side of grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Experiment with different types of sausages, such as spicy chorizos or morcilla (blood sausage), to add variety to the dish.

Serving advice

Serve the Argentinian-style Bangers and Mash hot, with extra chimichurri sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling over the sausages and mashed potatoes.

Presentation advice

Arrange the grilled sausages on top of a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes. Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the sausages and around the plate for an attractive presentation. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
