Korean-style Sausages and Mashed Potatoes

While the original British Bangers and Mash features traditional sausages and plain mashed potatoes, this Korean adaptation incorporates the bold and tangy flavors of kimchi into the sausages.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Kimchi — If you prefer a milder flavor, you can rinse the kimchi before chopping it. Adjust the amount of kimchi according to your taste preference.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of spice, add a teaspoon of gochujang (Korean chili paste) to the mashed potatoes.
• If you can't find Korean-style sausages, you can use any spicy sausage variety and add a teaspoon of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) to the skillet while cooking.
• To make the mashed potatoes even creamier, substitute some of the milk with sour cream or cream cheese.
• Serve with a side of tangy Korean pickles for a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors.
• Leftover mashed potatoes can be transformed into delicious potato pancakes by adding an egg and some flour to bind the mixture.

Serving advice

Serve the Korean-style sausages and mashed potatoes hot, with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.

Presentation advice
