Ingredients
  

Bangers (Sausages)

  • 6 sausages (use homemade or store-bought of your choice of meat or vegan)

Mash (Mashed Potatoes)

  • 6 medium potatoes (use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes)
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter (½ stick)
  • 1 cup whole milk (you can substitute half-and-half or unsweetened dairy free milk)
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Onion Gravy

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

Instructions
 

Make your Mash

  • 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 until they are light and fluffy and everything is mixed together.
    *Note: don't over-mix the potatoes once they come together. Over-mixing can cause the starch in the potatoes to create a gluey gross mess.

Make the Onion Gravy

  • Heat the oil in a saucepan on medium-high heat.
    Reduce the heat to low and add the diced onion and cook over low heat until the onions are golden and caramelized, after about 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.

Serve up your 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!
