Ingredients
  

For the Sausages and Potatoes
  • 4 chicken or turkey sausages
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil
For the Garden Salad
  • 1 cucumber sliced
  • 2 tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Peel and chop potatoes into roughly equal-sized pieces about 1.5 inches across. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the potato pieces. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until tender all the way through.
  2. Lightly brush sausages with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and grill for 12 to 15 minutes total, turning every few minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Drain cooked potatoes completely and return to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash using a potato masher or fork until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  4. In a bowl, combine sliced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, and thin red onion slices. Gently mix in sour cream or Greek yogurt and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Arrange creamy mashed potatoes on one side of each plate, place sausages next to them, and add a generous spoonful of garden salad on the other side. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For best texture, do not overmix the mashed potatoes. Store the garden salad separately from other components to prevent sogginess. Sausages can be cooked ahead and reheated gently before serving.
