Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Peel and quarter 4 medium Russet potatoes and place them in a large pot. Submerge in water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender, then drain.
  3. Mash the drained potatoes with 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of milk until creamy. Mix in 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme.
  4. Spoon the mashed potatoes into the greased muffin tin, pressing down firmly to create well-shaped cups.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat, cook 6 links of Irish sausages for 5–7 minutes until golden, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Fill each potato cup with the sautéed sausage pieces, pressing down gently.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Allow the cups to cool for a few minutes before gently lifting them from the muffin tin. Serve warm with tangy mustard dipping sauce.
