Bangers and Mash Flavorful Comfort Food Delight
Ingredients
- 6 pieces pork sausages (try a mix of sweet and spicy)
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Mash: Start by placing the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Cook the Sausages: While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the sausages and set aside.
- Make the Onion Gravy: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine, cooking for an additional minute.
- Add the Broth and Mustard: Gradually stir in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the Dijon mustard, and simmer for about 3-4 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mash the Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, and mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve: Serve the sausages on a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, drizzled with onion gravy over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve on a large platter with the sausages neatly arranged on the mash, and drizzle the gravy artistically. Add a sprinkle of parsley for a burst of color.
