Potato Sausage Pie is a recipe from my mother-in-law. It’s in the Mothers’ & Others’ Recipe book that my mother compiled. Potato Sausage Pie is a mixture of mashed potato, sausages, milk, eggs and a few others things. The ingredients are all mixed together and cooked in a pie dish, in the oven.
It’s a great way to use up leftover sausages. I often serve it with carrots and peas but it could be served with a salad or eaten as is. When my son’s food intolerances were diagnosed and he couldn’t eat potato, I would often make a potato sausage pie and a sweet potato sausage pie. This would last us for a few meals then. You could also make mini pies in patty pans or mini patty pans for a party.
The recipe was also easy to adapt to gluten and dairy free. The original recipe has breadcrumbs and self-raising flour which have been substituted in this version. The milk and cheese can be subbed for dairy free alternatives.
