Method
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the sausages and potatoes in a roasting tin with the oil. Roast for 30 mins, then mix the mustard and honey together and stir into the tin. Roast for 10 mins more until sticky and cooked.
- Meanwhile, mix together the dressing ingredients with some seasoning – the onion will soften slightly in the vinegar.
- When the sausages are ready, thickly slice them, then mix back in with the potatoes. Tip the spinach onto plates, pile the sticky sausage slices and potatoes on top, then spoon over the dressing.

We love this in our house. I start the sausages first and add the potato (have also used butternut squash) after 15 minutes. I also add the onion, thickly sliced for 10 minutes before adding the mustard and honey. I don't bother with the dressing as there are enough juices and stickiness to put on the salad.
Liked the sausages and the mustard/honey combo. Cut the honey down based on other reviews but wished I hadn't as ended up with tangy sweet potato which was a bit strange! Also the sweet potatoes turned to mush so we ended up having sweet potato mash instead Would cut cooking time for it by about 15 mins or so next time.
Would definitely try again and play around with quantity of honey/mustard..
I made the mistake of trying to use this recipe as my work pack up for a week. It was ok, but when cold you realise how much fat comes out of the sausages - a lovely white residue on everything! The sweet potato was also a bit limp even when straight out of the oven, perhaps it was on too long. Very nice favours though. Next time i'll try it hot!
