Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Latin American-style sausages — Choose sausages with a good balance of spices and flavors. If you prefer a milder taste, opt for longaniza sausages. For a spicier kick, go for chorizo sausages.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra burst of flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice to the mashed potatoes before serving.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, use a potato ricer or food processor to mash the potatoes.
  • Feel free to customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of chili powder used.
  • Serve with a side of Latin American salsa or guacamole for a refreshing twist.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.

Serving advice

Serve the Latin American Bangers and Mash hot, with a generous portion of mashed potatoes and sausages on each plate. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and added freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sausages on top of the mashed potatoes, slightly overlapping them for an appealing visual presentation. Drizzle any pan juices from the cooked sausages over the dish for added flavor and visual appeal.
