Sausages and sweet potato mash recipe

Ingredients

For the mash

  • 500g potato, cut into chunks
  • 500g sweet potato, cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or a knob of butter
  • grated nutmeg, to taste (optional)

For the sausages

  • 6 large sausages
  • 1 tsp West Indian hot pepper sauce
  • juice ½ small lime
  • 1 tbsp soft brown sugar
  • 2 tsp thyme leaf
  • 2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • salad, or green beans or peas, to serve

Method

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the potatoes in a pan of salted water and boil for about 20 mins until soft.

  • Meanwhile, tip the sausages onto a small baking sheet and bake for 10 mins. While they are cooking, mix the pepper sauce with the lime juice, sugar, thyme, garlic and tomato purée, and stir with 1 tbsp water. When the sausages have had 10-15 mins, brush over the spicy mix and bake for 10 mins more.

  • Drain the potatoes and mash with oil or butter, and nutmeg to taste, if you like. Serve with salad, or green beans or peas.
