  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large pork sausages or your preferred variety
  • 6 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausages in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes.
  2. While sausages cook, boil peeled and chopped potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle flour over onions, cook for another minute, then gradually add broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until gravy thickens.
  5. Serve sausages over mashed potatoes, topped with onion gravy. Garnish with thyme or parsley.
