Directions

1
Peel the potatoes and cook in a large pot of salted water until very tender.
2
Drain and mash until completely smooth and lump-free.
3
Return the mash to the pot over low heat. Stir in the cream, drained vegetables and half the Parmesan. Season, mix until creamy and uniform. Set aside, keeping warm.
4
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until golden and translucent.
5
Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned.
6
Stir in the corn, diced tomatoes and crumbled stock cubes. Mix well.
7
Cover and simmer on low heat for 6–8 minutes, until the tomatoes break down and the flavours meld together.
8
Spoon the mashed potatoes into deep plates, top generously with the sausage fricassee, scatter the remaining Parmesan and finish with potato chips for crunch. Serve immediately.

💡 Chef's Tip

Stir the cream cheese directly into the hot mash just before plating for an extra-silky texture. Swap the chips for golden croutons fried in olive oil for a rustic touch.
