  • Next, add butter and a 1 teaspoon salt/pepper to the potatoes and mash. When mashed add sour cream and chives and mix. Set aside to let potatoes cool.
  • Now, place sausage on a sheet tray and drizzle with oilve oil so the sausge crisp up in the oven. Place in the oven for 20 minutes. Then set aside to cool.
  • Next, roll out both sheets puff pastry 1 inch more then it is and divide each sheet of puff pastry into 4 strips (8 strips of puff pastry). Brush mustard on one side.
