Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F.
Peel the potatoes, chop them into chunks, and boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with 25 grams of butter and the milk. Set aside.
While the potatoes cook, slit the skins of the sausages and remove the meat. Heat a pan over medium heat and brown the sausage meat, breaking it up into small pieces. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the chicken or vegetable stock, stirring continuously. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the peas, dried thyme, and freshly chopped parsley. Season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and black pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.
Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Line the bottom of the dish with half of the pastry, trimming any excess.
Spread the sausage mixture into the pie dish, then top with the mashed potatoes, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the remaining pastry and place it over the potatoes. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork and trim any excess pastry. Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry for a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Let the pie cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
