Ingredients
Scale
Sausages
- 1 lb quality sausages (pork, chicken, or vegetarian)
Mashed Potatoes
- 2 lbs starchy potatoes (like Russets), peeled and chopped
- 4 tbsp butter
- ½ cup milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Onion Gravy
- 2 medium onions, sliced
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
Instructions
- Cook the Sausages: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausages until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Boil Potatoes: In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and chopped potatoes and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Make Onion Gravy: Using the same skillet from the sausages, sauté the sliced onions over medium heat until they caramelize and become soft and golden brown. Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and let it simmer until the gravy thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Mash Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
- Assemble: Plate the mashed potatoes and top them with the cooked sausages. Spoon the onion gravy generously over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the best creamy mash texture.
- For a richer gravy, you can add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a teaspoon of mustard.
- Vegetarian sausages are a great substitute for a meat-free version.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Leftover mashed potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated, but the sausages and gravy are best served fresh.
