Ingredients
  

6 pork sausages (or your favorite vegetarian sausages)

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and chopped

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

1 cup whole milk

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard for added flavor

Instructions
 

Cook the Sausages: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sausages. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

    Boil the Potatoes: While the sausages are cooking, in a large pot, add the chopped potatoes and cover them with cold salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and cook for about 15 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork.

      Make the Garlic Herb Butter: In the same skillet used for the sausages, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and thyme, cooking until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and mix in chopped chives.

        Mash the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste. Mash the potatoes until creamy and smooth. If using, stir in the Dijon mustard for a tangy twist.

          Combine and Serve: On a plate, serve a generous scoop of mashed potatoes topped with the sausages. Drizzle the garlic herb butter over the top of the sausages and mash.

            Final Touch: For a pop of color, garnish the dish with additional fresh chives or a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
