Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 pounds parsnips, cut into chunks
  • 2 1/4 pounds potatoes, cut into chunks
  • - salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound sausages of your choice
  • 1/4 cup bacon fat or butter

How To Make sausage skirlie-mirlie

  • Step 1
    Cook the parsnips and potatoes separately in boiling salted water until they are tender. Drain and mash; mix together with salt and pepper.
  • Step 2
    Cook the sausage in a small amount of the bacon fat or butter in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, crisp, and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Step 3
    Pour the fat from the sausages into a saucepan. Add the remaining bacon fat or butter and let it melt. Stir in the potatoes and parsnips and beat until creamy, over medium heat, adding hot milk to make a lighter consistency, if you prefer.
  • Step 4
    Spoon the mashed vegetables onto a serving plate and top with the sausages.
