Step 1: You will need
- 6 sausages
- 1/2 kg potatoes
- 1/8 ltr milk
- 25 g butter
- salt
- pepper
- chopping board
- kitchen knife
- potato masher
- large saucepan
- baking tray
Step 2: Preparation
Switch on the oven and set it to a temperature of 200ºc. Peel and slice the potatoes. Lay the sausages out on a baking tray.
Step 3: Boil the potatoes
Potatoes will take 15-20 minutes to boil up ready for mashing. Put them into a saucepan of boiling water and cook on a low heat.
Covering most of the pan with a lid will mean you'll be able to save energy by using a lower heat.
Step 4: Cook the sausages
The sausages will take about 15 minutes to cook. Half way through this period they'll need to be pricked with a sharp knife, to allow the fat to escape, and then turned over.
Step 5: Potatoes
Potatoes vary in the amount of time they take to cook. You'll know your potatoes are ready for mashing when you can stick a fork in them and they are completely soft.
At this stage, drain the water away and mash them up enthusiastically. Add a large chunk of butter plus a pinch of salt and some pepper, and mash some more.
Then add milk, and mash some more until the consistency feels right for you - this varies according to taste- you can go lumpy or smooth.
Now add the sausages steaming from the oven.
