Treat your ingredients with care...

Sausages — Choose high-quality sausages with your preferred flavor. Pork, beef, or chicken sausages work well in this recipe.
Potatoes — Opt for starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the creamiest mashed potatoes.

Tips & Tricks

For extra flavor, you can add chopped herbs like parsley or chives to the mashed potatoes.
If you prefer a smoother texture, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes.
Feel free to customize your sausages by adding spices or herbs to the meat mixture before shaping them.

Serving advice

Serve the Sausage and Potato Smash hot, with a dollop of ketchup or mustard on top for an added kick. Pair it with a side of coleslaw or a simple green salad to complete the meal.

Presentation advice

To make the dish visually appealing, place the sausages diagonally on top of the mashed potatoes. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs for a pop of color.
