Cheese and mushroom sausages

4 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1pack(212g) instant mashed potato mix
125gramsClosed cup mushrooms; quartered
6Spring onions; roughly chopped
5tablespoonsSunflower oil
50gramsFreshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus
1tablespoonFreshly grated Parmesan cheese, to garnish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Peach or spiced fruit chutney, to serve

Directions

1. Measure 700ml boiling water into a bowl, then add the potato mix stirring continuously. Stand for 1 minute, then beat until creamy and smooth. Leave to stand for 5-10 minutes until cool enough to handle.

2. Finely chop the mushrooms and onions in a food processor. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the mushroom mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until just soft. Add to the potato with the cheese and season well.

3. Divide the mixture into eight and shape into large sausages on a floured surface.

4. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper, then heat the remaining oil. Fry the sausages for 4-5 minutes, carefully turning once with a non-stick spatula or palette knife. Take care not to spoil their golden crust.

5. Scatter over the remaining cheese and serve at once with the chutney, freshly cooked vegetables or a green salad.

NOTES : These simple potato patties have stacks of flavour. You can grill the sausages if you wish, but they are crisper and more golden when fried.
