- 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.
