Method
Cooking the Potatoes
- Place your peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until you can easily poke a fork through them.
Preparing the Sausages
- While the potatoes are cooking, take a large skillet and add the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until they are nicely browned on all sides (about 15 minutes). Ensure they are cooked all the way through by turning them regularly.
Sautéing the Onions
- In the same skillet after removing the sausages, add the chopped onions and sauté until they’re soft and translucent.
Making the Mash
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Add more milk for extra creaminess if desired.
Combining It All
- In the last few minutes of sausage cooking, add the frozen peas to the skillet, stirring until heated through. Plate a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, place your sausages on top, and sprinkle the peas around. Drizzle with gravy if you feel fancy!
Notes
For a smooth mash, use a potato ricer. Experiment with different types of sausages, including sweet Italian, spicy links, or veggie options. Don't worry if your sauce is a little lumpy; it's part of the dish's charm.
