Mash Together

Drain the potatoes and kale, then mash with butter and milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Preparing the Sausage

Cook Sausages

Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes.

Ensure sausages are thoroughly cooked to 165°F (75°C). Pro Tip: Slightly sear sausages to enhance smoky flavor.
