Description
A cozy British-style comfort meal with golden browned sausages, creamy mashed potatoes, and rich onion gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 pork sausages, about 1 1/2 pounds
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and let it warm for 2 minutes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain well and return them to the warm pot.
- Add 4 tablespoons butter, warmed milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the sausages to the skillet and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning often, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the same skillet, then add the sliced onions. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until soft and lightly golden.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir for 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring, then add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Simmer the gravy for 5 to 7 minutes, until thickened and glossy.
- Spoon mashed potatoes onto plates, place sausages on top, ladle over onion gravy, and finish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- Warm the milk before adding it to the potatoes for a smoother mash.
- Cook the onions slowly so they turn sweet and tender.
- Taste the gravy before adding extra salt because sausages and broth can vary.
- Add a splash of broth if the gravy becomes too thick.
