Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces of the same size so they cook evenly.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Put the potato pieces in the saucepan, cover them with cold water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat as soon as it boils and let them cook for 15 min over low heat.

    Tip · If the potatoes are very big, cut them into 2 cm pieces so they don't stay raw in the middle.
  3. Prep the green beans

    Take the frozen green beans out of the freezer and tip them into the colander under cold water to thaw them a little.

  4. Cook the green beans

    In the same saucepan as the potatoes, bring the water back to a boil. Add the green beans and let them cook for 5 min. Then drain them.

  5. Brown the sausages

    In the nonstick skillet over medium heat, brown the sausages for 3-4 min on each side with no fat. Keep them warm.

    Tip · To keep the sausages from bursting, cook them over medium heat and turn them gently with tongs.
  6. Mash the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes, then add the warm milk, the butter and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth.

  7. Serve

    Divide the mash among the plates, add the green beans on the side and set a sausage on each serving of mash.
