Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C)
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until they are browned on all sides. Transfer the sausages to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • While the sausages are cooking, boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.Add the butter and milk to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
  • In the same skillet used for the sausages, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced onions and cook on a low heat for about 15 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine.Gradually add the beef broth, stirring continuously. Add the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes until the gravy thickens.
  • Place a good amount of mashed potatoes on each plate. Top with sausages and pour the onion gravy over the top.

Notes

  1. Sausage Selection: Opt for high-quality pork sausages, or choose chicken or turkey sausages for something lighter.
  2. Mashing Tip: For smoother mashed potatoes, warm the milk before adding it to the cooked potatoes.
  3. Onion Cooking: Make sure onions are fully caramelized before adding flour; this is key to developing the gravy's rich flavor.
  4. Gravy Thickness: If the gravy is too thick, thin it with a little extra beef broth until you reach the desired consistency.
