Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet (14.1 oz/400g) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 pound (450g) good quality pork sausages, casings removed
  • 1 cup (225g) cooked and mashed potatoes (seasoned with butter, salt, and pepper)
  • 1 tablespoon English mustard (optional)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, crumble the sausage meat. Add the mashed potatoes and English mustard (if using) and mix well with a fork until thoroughly combined.
  3. Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. If desired, lightly roll out the pastry to slightly enlarge it.
  4. Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the puff pastry sheet. Roll the pastry up tightly, like a log. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the roll into approximately 1-inch (2.5cm) slices.
  5. Place the sausage rolls, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage filling is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  7. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
