Hutspot Met Worst (Dutch Potato, Carrot and Onion Mash with Sausage)

• 1 kg Yukon Gold potato
• 500 g Carrot
• 2 medium Yellow onion
• 2 tsp Fine sea salt
• 600 g Pork sausage, preferably smoked
• 60 g Unsalted butter
• 150 ml Whole milk
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• ½ tsp Black pepper

1. Peel the potatoes and carrots, then cut them into even chunks. Peel and slice the onion. Put the potatoes, carrots and onion into a large pot and add enough water to just cover, then stir in 1 tsp of the salt.
2. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Nestle the sausages on top of the vegetables, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes more until the vegetables are very tender and the sausages are piping hot throughout.
3. Lift the sausages out to a plate and cover to keep warm. Drain the vegetables well in a colander, then return them to the hot pot and let the steam evaporate for 1 minute. Mash until smooth with a potato masher.
4. Add the butter and mash again until melted and glossy. Pour in the milk a little at a time, mashing until soft and spoonable. Stir in the mustard, then season with the remaining salt and the black pepper.
5. Slice the sausages or serve them whole alongside the mash. Taste and add a little more black pepper if you like. Serve hot.
