SAUSAGE AND CHIPOTLE MASHED POTATOES

Serves 4.

3 medium Wisconsin potatoes (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup plain yogurt
2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped

1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound cooked, smoked Polish sausage links
1 medium onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons dry white wine
5 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach leaves
 

Cooking Directions
Peel and quarter potatoes. In medium saucepan cook potatoes, covered, in boiling, lightly salted water for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash potatoes. Stir in yogurt, chipotle peppers, butter or margarine and salt.

Meanwhile, cut sausage crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. In 12-inch skillet, cook onion and garlic in hot oil until lightly browned. Stir in sausage, bell pepper and wine. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until sausage is heated through. Stir in spinach. Cook and stir for 1 minute or until spinach starts to wilt. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Serving Suggestions
Give smoked sausage a Southwestern twist with these flavorful mashed potatoes. Serve with warm pita bread and finish with cranberry-apple cobbler for dessert.
