Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large pork sausages
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add olive oil to the skillet and cook sausages until browned and fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté onions with a pinch of salt until caramelized, then add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in flour and stir, then slowly whisk in beef stock. Simmer until gravy thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Drain cooked potatoes and mash with butter, warm milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Return sausages to the skillet and simmer in the gravy for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve mashed potatoes topped with sausages and a generous ladle of onion gravy.
Notes
- Use starchy potatoes like Russets for a fluffier mash.
- Warm your milk before adding it to the mash for a smoother texture.
- Caramelize the onions slowly over low heat to bring out their natural sweetness.
- Make ahead by preparing the mash and gravy a day in advance.
