Ingredients :
- Sausages (bangers)
- Potatoes

Directions :
- Start by peeling and chopping your potatoes. Boil them in a pot of salted water until they’re tender. Once ready, drain the water and mash the potatoes with a generous dollop of butter and a splash of milk. Make them creamy and delicious!
