did you make the mash yourself and if so, would you please share your method?

Yup. Peel the potatoes, boil them for about 20 minutes or so they're falling apart when you fork them, put the sausages in the oven at the same time.
Take the water out, dice an onion, grate a LOT of cheese over it, put in a slop of milk, mash it all up and eat it. Simples.

have you chopped up the chorizo first?
why the oven?
what about frying?

thanks!

Nope. Leave them whole and don't pierce them, it lets all the goodness out.
Oven is better for slow baking, retains the flavour better than frying. Plus I hate frying stuff.

I'll give that a whirl, thanks!
I like diced and fried chorizo as an accompaniment to a tomato and rocket salad as the juice left in the pan makes a lovely dressing. Now I get that pouring the fat from the pan on top of the salad might be perceived as defeating the purpose of eating salad but some salad actually tastes good.

Tomatoes are the stuff of evil
Use red pepper instead, much nicer.

i like a roasted red pepper as much as the next man
but there is little better on this earth beats the taste of a cherry tomato rolled in olive oil, basil and coarse ground black pepper.

Cherry tomatoes are ok at a push, but regular tomatoes can fuck right off.

regular tomatoes make for better bolognese
and chilli con carne and pomodoro and such.

No they can fuck right off and that's final
