Cooking Sausages

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausages

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Place the pork and beef sausages on the grill or skillet.

    Cook the Sausages

    Cook the sausages for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.

Preparing Potatoes

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cube the potatoes. In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender.

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
