Description
A comforting British classic, Classic Bangers and Mash pairs golden sausages with fluffy mashed potatoes and savory onion gravy. Perfect for chilly nights or any time you crave hearty, soul-warming food.
Ingredients
6 pork sausages (bangers)
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk or cream
2 large yellow onions
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
2. Peel and cube potatoes. Boil in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork tender. Drain, then mash with butter and milk until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In the same skillet, add sliced onions. Cook on medium-low heat for 10–15 minutes until soft and golden. Sprinkle flour, stir well, then gradually whisk in beef broth. Simmer until thickened into a smooth gravy.
4. Plate the mashed potatoes, place sausages on top, and drizzle with onion gravy. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Warming the milk before adding to the potatoes makes for a creamier mash.
A potato ricer gives smoother mashed potatoes than a masher.
For deeper flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the onion gravy.
