Description
Sausages and Onion Gravy with Mashed Potatoes is a hearty and comforting dish that combines savory sausages with rich onion gravy served over creamy mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling potatoes)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 pound pork sausages (or your choice of sausage)
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the potatoes. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
- While the potatoes are boiling, cook the sausages in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the beef broth while stirring, then add the Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the gravy is thickening, mash the drained potatoes with 3 tablespoons of butter and the milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
- Slice the cooked sausages and return them to the skillet with the onion gravy. Stir to coat the sausages in the gravy.
- Serve the sausages and onion gravy over a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
- Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the gravy for a tangy twist, or include sautéed mushrooms for added depth.
