Instructions

  • Get the potatoes boiling before you get started on the sausage and peppers so that they are ready to mash as the sausage and peppers simmer.
  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    1 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Brown sausages on all sides, until almost cooked through, remove and cut into ¼ inch slices. You don’t have to worry about cooking them all the way through as they will finish cooking while the sauce simmers.

  • In the same pan drizzle another teaspoon or so of olive oil and sauté the peppers and onions until slightly softened, about five minutes.
