Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 chicken andouille sausages
- 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the diced potatoes to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork, then stir in the heavy cream, butter, and milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, paprika, thyme, and cayenne pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Push the onion and garlic to the side of the skillet and add the chicken andouille sausages. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
- Serve the chicken andouille sausages alongside the creamy mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Chicken Andouille Sausage has a rich history rooted in the Cajun and Creole cuisines of Louisiana. This flavorful sausage is a staple in dishes like gumbo and jambalaya, known for its spicy and smoky flavor. When paired with creamy mashed potatoes, the dish becomes a delightful blend of savory and comforting flavors. Chefs in New Orleans, such as Emeril Lagasse, have popularized this combination, infusing it with their own unique flair. The best version of this dish can be found in authentic Cajun and Creole restaurants in Louisiana, where the sausage is often made in-house with a blend of chicken, spices, and the essential ingredient, Andouille seasoning. The key to getting this dish right lies in the perfect balance of spices in the Andouille sausage and the creamy texture of the mashed potatoes. For a twist, some chefs also incorporate Cajun seasoning into the mashed potatoes, adding an extra kick to the dish.
