  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 batch creamy mashed potatoes, hot (see recipe here)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Bite Size Directions:

Once the sausages are heated through, remove them from the pan and slice into 1/2-inch rounds.

Use a spoon to scoop about 1 tbsp worth of the mashed potatoes onto each round. Sprinkle each top with a little parsley.

Set the rounds out on a serving platter.

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken sausages and cook until heated throughout (about 7-8 minutes, total). Remove the sausages from the pan.
  3. Place a scoop of mashed potatoes on each plate. Top with two sausages. If desired, sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
