Ingredients

Scale

Sausages and Mash

  • 4 sausages
  • 2 large potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Onion Gravy

  • 1 onion
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure they cook uniformly. Then boil them in salted water until they become tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Cook the Sausages: In a pan over medium heat, cook the sausages thoroughly until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes depending on thickness.
  3. Caramelize the Onions: Slice the onion thinly and sauté in the same pan used for the sausages to absorb the flavors, cooking over medium heat until soft and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Make the Gravy Base: Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the caramelized onions and stir continuously for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste and help thicken the gravy.
  5. Add Beef Stock: Pour in the beef stock gradually while stirring, then let the mixture simmer until it thickens to a gravy consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Mash the Potatoes: Once boiled, drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Add butter and mash them until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Plate the mashed potatoes, arrange the sausages on top, and drizzle generously with the onion gravy. Serve immediately for the best experience.

Notes

  • For a richer mash, you can add a splash of milk or cream.
  • Use good quality sausages for the best flavor.
  • The onion gravy can be made vegetarian by substituting beef stock with vegetable stock and using vegetarian sausages.
  • Caramelizing the onions gently is key to developing a sweet, deep flavor for the gravy.
  • Leftover gravy can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
