Ingredients
While the original British Bangers and Mash is typically made with pork sausages and served with a rich onion gravy, our New Mexican adaptation adds a kick of heat and incorporates local flavors. We use spicy chorizo sausages instead of traditional bangers and infuse the mashed potatoes with roasted green chilies for a distinct Southwestern taste. The dish is also garnished with fresh cilantro and served with a zesty tomato salsa to enhance the flavors. We alse have the original recipe for Bangers and Mash, so you can check it out.

- If you prefer a milder heat, use mild chorizo sausages or reduce the amount of roasted green chilies.
- Customize the level of spiciness by adding hot sauce or jalapenos to the tomato salsa.
- Serve with a side of refried beans and cornbread for a complete New Mexican meal.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or pan-fried for a delicious breakfast option.
Serving advice
Serve the New Mexican Bangers and Mash hot, with the sausages placed on top of the creamy mashed potatoes. Drizzle the tomato salsa over the sausages and garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
Presentation advice
Arrange the sausages diagonally on the mashed potatoes to create an appealing visual presentation. Place a small dollop of tomato salsa on each sausage and sprinkle some chopped cilantro over the entire dish for an attractive finishing touch.
