Buttermilk Bangers with Garlic & Chives

This one's for my brother who absolutely loves homemade mashed potatoes, but then again, not many men don't. There's no need to give up on mashed potato love this Thanksgiving. The carbs from potatoes are natural and are okay as long as they're balanced out with enough protein. Hello, turkey!
