Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 pork or beef sausages (or veggie sausages)
- 4 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 2 large onions (thinly sliced)
Dairy and Liquid Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth)
Seasoning and Thickening Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place sausages in a skillet and roast over medium heat, rotating occasionally to ensure even browning and complete cooking, approximately 10-12 minutes until they develop a rich golden exterior.
- Peel potatoes and chop into uniform cubes, submerge in salted water, and boil until fork-tender, roughly 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly and transform into a velvety mash by incorporating butter, cream, salt, and pepper until achieving a silky, luxurious consistency.
- Utilize the identical skillet from sausage preparation, reducing heat to low and allowing sliced onions to gradually caramelize, developing a deep golden-brown color and sweet, rich flavor profile.
- Dust caramelized onions with flour, stirring meticulously to create an even coating. Gradually introduce beef broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming, then incorporate Worcestershire sauce for depth of flavor.
- Allow gravy to simmer and thicken, reducing until it reaches a luxurious, coating consistency, approximately 5 minutes.
- Plate mashed potatoes as a creamy foundation, nestle sausages atop the potato landscape, and generously cascade onion gravy across the dish. Optional: Sprinkle fresh parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
Notes
- Master the sausage sear by ensuring medium heat prevents burning while achieving a beautiful golden-brown exterior.
- Choose high-quality pork sausages with at least 70% meat content for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- Create silky smooth mashed potatoes by warming cream and butter before mixing to prevent temperature shock and lumpy texture.
- Transform this classic dish into a gluten-free version by using cornstarch instead of flour in the gravy and selecting certified gluten-free sausages.
