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.
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.
