Buster, I make something similar with tinned corned beef. I use leftover boiled potatoes and leftover cooked cabbage or Brussels sprouts, and chopped onion. Fry the onion first for a bit, then add the corned beef and potatoes cut in half inch chunks and whatever else you have. The trick is to leave it to fry for a while so that the bottom caramelises before trying to turn it over whole to brown the other side. You could use leftover mashed potatoes, I've never tried instant but I don't see why not. I'm sure sausage would work just as well.
The dish I've described is called corned beef hash.
