Bangers and Mash - Make it your Own




I discovered this wonderful new group and immediately cooked the recipe of the month and promptly forgot I hadn't posted it and that is why I have to cook, at the last minute, in the future.  This is a feeling foolish day.  The name of the group is Make it Mine.

To learn about the club, take a short trip to  Cook the Story.   The idea is to take traditional dishes and put your own spin on it.

When it came to the dish, Bangers and Mash, I had no idea what we were talking about and didn't feel, I could be too innovative when I didn't have a clue about presentation.  I decided to make potato mounds with the sausage.


 
 Bangers and Mash

Ingredients :

1 pound turkey sausage
4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
 one onion, diced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 
Method:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Bake sausages in a square pan until they are a bit crinkly and blackened slightly.

While the sausages are in the oven, cook the potatoes in a large saucepan with water to cover. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender. 
 
Drain the potatoes .
 
Heat oil in a skillet and cook the onion for about 20 minutes until caramelized.  Add onions to potatoes with mustard and black pepper.
 
Use a ricer or masher to get nice creamy potatoes.  Add a little milk if necessary.
 
Using an ice cream scoop make mounds of mashed potatoes and place on a cookie sheet.  Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes until they brown a little.  Serve with sausages.

Eat and enjoy.
