Smoky sausage and mash

This is sausage and mash with a smoky Gallic twist: the smoked sausage (Morteau sausage here) is cooked in with the potatoes, so that they take on its smoky flavour. The potatoes are turned into a French-style purée – softer and richer than British mash.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 20 min.

Peel 1 kg potatoes, then cut into chunks and rinse.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Prick 1 Morteau sausage all over with a fork or pointed knife.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Put the potatoes into a large saucepan with a little salt. Lay the sausage on top and add water to cover.

Stage 4 - 40 min.

Cook covered for 30 to 40 minutes until the potatoes are soft.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Take the sausage out of the pan, then drain the potatoes.

Keep the cooking water to use again.

Stage 6 - 15 min.

Purée the potatoes with a vegetable mill back into the same pan. If it seems too hard, pour a little of the cooking water into the mill.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

When all the potatoes are puréed, put back on low heat, then add 100 g butter and 100 g liquid cream.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Mix thoroughly to make the purée nice and smooth, then salt and pepper.

Cover and keep hot.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Slice the sausage.

Stage 10 - 8 min.

Put in a frying pan, without any added fat, and fry on both sides.

Stage 11

Serve the purée with slices of fried sausage on top.

Remarks

This recipe was devised with Morteau sausage in mind, but other types of smoked sausage will work fine.

Natives of the Franche-Comté region, in France, might raise their eyebrows at stage 2: just for once, we'll prick the sausage (which they wouldn't normally do), so that the smoky flavour can spread into the potatoes during cooking.

No need to let all that smoky flavour go to waste: you can use the cooking water left for boiling pasta or rice, for example.

Keeping

Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
