Ingredients
  

Bangers (Sausages)

  • 6 sausages (mild, spicy, or meatless)

Mash (Mashed Potatoes)

  • 6 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (½ stick)
  • 1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half)
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Onion Gravy

  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • salt, to taste, depending on the saltiness of your broth

Instructions
 

Mashed Potatoes

  • Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a pot and fill it with water to cover the potatoes by about an inch of water. Bring the pot to a boil on high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the potatoes.
  • Drain the potatoes into a colander. Add the potatoes back into the pot along with the salt, butter, milk, black pepper and nutmeg. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or a large fork just until they are light and fluffy, being careful not to overmix.

Onion Gravy

  • Heat the oil in a saucepan on medium-low heat and add the diced onion. Cook until the onions are golden and caramelized, after about 20-30 minutes.
  • Add the flour to the saucepan and whisk until everything becomes smooth.
  • Increase the heat to medium and add the broth. Whisk constantly until it forms a thick and bubbling gravy. Take a taste test and add more salt if needed.

Bangers and Mash

  • To serve, place a few large dollops of your mashed potatoes on a plate. Add one or two sausages and a hearty serving of onion gravy over everything. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't over-mix the potatoes once they come together, which can cause the starch in the potatoes to create a gluey, gross mess.
