Ingredients

4 beef or pork sausages (your choice of flavors)

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced

1/2 cup milk

4 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional for extra flavor)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Sausages: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 12-15 minutes). Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: While the sausages are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes and cook until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.

Mash the Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes until they are creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary and keep warm.

Make the Sauce (optional): In the same skillet used for the sausages, you can prepare a simple mustard gravy. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then add 1 cup of water or chicken broth. Stir in the Dijon mustard and let simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Plate the Dish: Serve a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on a plate, top with the browned sausages, and drizzle with mustard gravy, if using.

Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for color and added flavor.

- Presentation Tips: Serve the dish on a rustic plate, with the sausages slightly leaning over the mashed potatoes. A side of steamed green peas can elevate the color and provide a nice crunch.
