Ingredients 🛒
For the Sausages and Mash:
6 beef or chicken sausages
1 kg potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
½ cup warm milk Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Onion Sauce (Gravy):
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups beef or chicken broth Fresh herbs (parsley or thyme), optional Salt and black pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions 👩🍳
1. Make the Mashed Potatoes 🥔
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender (about 15–20 minutes).
Drain and mash with butter and warm milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Sausages 🌭
Heat a pan over medium heat.
Fry the sausages until golden brown and cooked through (about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally). Remove and keep warm.
3. Prepare the Sauce (Onion Gravy) 🧅
In the same pan, melt butter. Add the onions and sauté until soft and lightly caramelized. Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the onions. Gradually pour in the broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens into a smooth, rich gravy. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs if desired.
4. Serve 🍽
Spoon creamy mashed potatoes onto a plate. Top with juicy sausages. Pour the rich onion sauce generously over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley for a final touch.
Tips & Variations ✨
Extra Creamy Mash: Use heavy cream instead of milk.
Add Veggies: Serve with peas, green beans, or roasted carrots.
Different Sausages: Try pork, turkey, or even spicy sausages for variety.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the mashed potatoes and sauce ahead of time—just reheat before serving.
Storage & Leftovers 🍴
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of broth or milk to keep everything moist.
