  • Return the sausages, along with their juices, to the skillet, and warm over low heat.
  • In a small saucepan, heat milk until just below boiling. 
  • Drain potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash until smooth. Add the butter and hot milk and stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.
