Serves: 3
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
400g potatoes (eg. Red Rascals), peeled and halved
2 mild, long and thin roast sausages
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 piece of carrot
1/2 avocado, diced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
20g butter, melted
Soak 2 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to keep them from burning

 

Method

  1. Place potatoes into a saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to the boil over medium/high heat. Boil for 20 minutes or until very tender.
  2. Meanwhile, roll sausages up like a snake and place on skewers to secure them. Heat oil in a non stick frying pan and fry sausages on medium heat until both sides are thoroughly cooked.
  3. Cut carrot in 'tongues' and press into the 'head' of snake.
  4. Drain potatoes and return to pan. Add avocado and lemon juice, then mash until almost smooth. Add butter and stir through until mixed.
  5. Place snakes on avocado-potato mash.
