Peel the potatoes and place them in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes until tender. Cooking time depends on the size of the potatoes. Add the peeled beans to boiling water and 2 teaspoons of vegetable stock powder, then cook for about 15 minutes. Finely chop the onions and fry them in a pan with a little olive oil until translucent. Fry the ham cubes until slightly crispy. Mash the potatoes and mix well with the milk. Mix the mashed potatoes with the beans, ham cubes, and onions, and season with salt and pepper. Peel the skin off the coarsely chopped sausages and fry the sausages until lightly browned.
