Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the potatoes to the water, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes or until fork tender.

Drain the potatoes and add to a bowl with the butter, milk, salt and pepper.

Mash the potatoes with a hand held masher until fluffy.

Heat a lightly greased saute pan over medium heat. Poke sausage with a fork, add to the saute pan and cook for 7-8 minutes or until cooked through (you may want to follow the package directions on the amount of time).

Slice sausage into several pieces.

Place a heaping spoonful of mashed potatoes on a plate and top with sliced sausage.

Serve.
