Such a dainty, pretty concoction for a lunch or brunch! These butterflies are sure to fly off the plate. I've included amounts for 2 servings but the recipe is easy to adjust to the servings you need.

Ingredients

• 2 slices pineapple, cut in halves
• 1/2 teaspoon butter
• 2 link sausages OR bulk sausage formed into 2 links
• 1/2 - 1 cup prepared mashed potatoes
• Parsley to garnish
• Crispy fried onion to garnish

Instructions

1. Fry half slices pineapple in butter until light brown.
2. Fry sausages.
3. Place one sausage on each plate; put a spoonful of mashed potato on each side; and stand half-pineapple slices in potato to resemble butterfly wings.
4. Sprinkle potato with chopped parsley and fried onions.
