Ingredients

Scale

Sausage and Mash Filling

  • 4 quality sausages (choose your favorite type for robust flavor and juiciness)
  • 4 medium starchy potatoes (Russets or Yukon Gold), peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup warm milk
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Assembling

  • 8 soft tortillas (flour or corn)
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), chopped for garnish
  • Optional toppings: grated cheese, salsa, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mashed potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into even chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well, then mash with butter and warm milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
  2. Cook the sausages: Remove sausages from casings or slice into bite-sized pieces. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook sausages until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Add chopped onions and garlic toward the end of cooking to soften and caramelize, infusing aromatic flavor.
  3. Warm the tortillas: Gently warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave until soft and pliable, preventing cracking when folding.
  4. Assemble the tacos: Spread a generous spoonful of mashed potatoes onto each tortilla. Top with the cooked sausage mixture. Add garnishes such as fresh herbs, grated cheese, or salsa for extra flavor and texture.
  5. Serve immediately: Enjoy the Sausage and Mash Tacos warm for the best flavor and texture. Serve with your favorite sides or as a fun finger food for gatherings.

Notes

  • Use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold for fluffy, creamy mash.
  • Cook sausages on medium heat and turn frequently to keep them juicy and avoid overcooking.
  • Season mashed potatoes well with salt and butter to enhance flavor.
  • Warm tortillas thoroughly to prevent breaking when folded.
  • Use the same pan to cook sausages and sauté onions to maximize flavor infusion.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or chives just before serving for brightness and color.
  • Keep components separate until assembly to avoid soggy tortillas.
