Scale

- 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
- ½ cup beef broth (120ml)
For the Mashed Potatoes:
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (900g), peeled and cubed
- ½ cup whole milk (120ml)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (60g)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Onion Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30g)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (8g)
- 1 cup beef broth (240ml)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sausages
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sausages and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned.
- Pour in ½ cup of beef broth, cover the pan, and let the sausages cook for another 5 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Mashed Potatoes
- While the sausages are cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add peeled and cubed potatoes and boil for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.
Step 3: Prepare the Onion Gravy
- In the same skillet used for the sausages, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized.
- Sprinkle in flour, stirring constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.
- Slowly pour in beef broth, whisking to prevent lumps.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, then simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
- Divide the mashed potatoes onto serving plates.
- Place the cooked sausages on top.
- Generously drizzle with onion gravy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve hot!
Notes
- Use Quality Sausages: Traditional Irish or British bangers work best, but any high-quality pork sausage will do.
- Brown the Sausages Well: Cooking them slowly on medium heat helps achieve a crispy exterior while keeping them juicy inside.
- Make Creamy Mash: Use warm milk and butter for the smoothest, fluffiest mashed potatoes.
