Treat your ingredients with care...

• Sausages — Choose high-quality sausages with a good balance of spices and meat. Adjust the level of spiciness according to your preference.
• Potatoes — Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the creamiest mash. Make sure to boil them until they are fork-tender for easy mashing.

Tips & Tricks

• For extra flavor, you can add caramelized onions to the sausages while cooking.
• If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of chili powder or add chopped green chilies to the sausages.
• To make the mashed potatoes even creamier, add a dollop of sour cream or cream cheese.
• Serve with a side of tangy tomato chutney or mint chutney for a burst of flavor.
• Leftover bangers and mash can be reheated and enjoyed the next day.

Serving advice

Serve the spicy sausages and creamy potato mash hot on a plate. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sausages neatly on top of the potato mash, drizzling any remaining spice mixture over them. Sprinkle some extra cumin powder and coriander leaves for an attractive presentation.
