Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Potatoes — Make sure to cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Kale — Remove the tough stems before chopping the kale.
  • Rookworst and verse worst sausages — Prick the sausages with a fork before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

Tips & Tricks

  • For extra flavor, you can add a dollop of mustard or gravy on top of the sausages.
  • If you prefer a smoother mashed potato texture, use a potato ricer or food mill instead of mashing by hand.
  • Experiment with different types of sausages to find your favorite combination.
  • To make the dish more indulgent, sprinkle some grated cheese on top of the mashed potatoes before serving.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick and satisfying meal.

Serving advice

Serve the Dutch-style Bangers and Mash hot, with a side of pickles or tangy Dutch mustard. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sausages on top of the mashed potato mixture, slightly overlapping them. Drizzle some gravy or melted butter over the sausages for an appetizing presentation.
