Growing up in NZ one of my favourite 'tea-room' meals was the greasy sausage with a sliver of mashed potato and, for some odd reason, a small dot of tomato sauce, so, as a change from bangers 'n mash I created my version of my old childhood favourite for the kids.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
8 sausages
4 small or 2 large potatoes
1/8 cup chopped chives
1/4 cup grated cheese
knob of butter
dash of milk
salt & pepper to taste
tomato sauce
Method
Peel and cut the potatoes and simmer with a pinch of salt until soft
Grill the sausages (or pan fry if preferred)
Mash the potatoes thoroughly with the butter and milk, pepper (and salt if used) to taste. Stir through the chives and cheese (keep a little cheese to sprinkle on top)
Carefully split the sausage lengthways, but do not cut right through. Fold it open
Spread the potato mash on the sausage, sprinkle with cheese and add a dot of tomato sauce in the centre!
Grill for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is golden
Serve with favourite veges or salad for a dinner, or serve as a fun party snack using breakfast sausages!
