𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨
• 2 Large sweet potato

1) Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Wash & chop the sweet potato & white potato - put into a pan. Cook for 20 minutes.
2) Prick the sausages & put them into a medium frying pan or sauté pan with the oil. Peel & slice the onion - slices like hot dog onions - and add to the pan.
3) Once the onions have softened, add 1 finely sliced chilli, the vinegar, marmalade and mustard, and cook on a medium heat, stirring to encourage the onions to absorb all of the spicy sweet flavours and turning the sausages to brown and cook through.
4) When the potatoes are soft, drain them, leaving them slightly wet to mash. Finely slice the remaining chilli and toss it into the potato pan along with the grated cheese. Mash with a fork or potato masher according to desired consistency. Spoon the mash into a bowl, top with the spicy sausages & onions, and enjoy.
