Ingredients
Scale
For the Bangers:
- 4 pork sausages (such as Cumberland or Lincolnshire)
- Substitute: Beef or lamb sausages, or vegetarian sausages for a plant-based option
For the Mash:
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- Substitute: Half potatoes, half cauliflower for a lower-carb mash
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup milk, warmed
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Onion Gravy:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh thyme (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
- Boil the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- While still warm, mash the potatoes with butter and warm milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the Sausages:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausages until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Set aside and keep warm.
- Make the Onion Gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt butter (or use oil) over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until caramelized and golden brown, around 10-15 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions, stirring constantly to create a roux.
- Gradually add the broth, whisking to combine. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Serve:
- Plate a generous portion of mashed potatoes, top with sausages, and ladle the onion gravy over everything. Serve hot and enjoy
