Steps

Prepare Mashed Potatoes

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are completely tender. Drain well, then return to the pot. Add the warm milk and butter, then mash until creamy using a potato ricer or fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook Sausages

Heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook them on all sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. They should be crispy on the outside. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside to keep warm.

Make Onion Gravy

In the same pan with the sausage drippings (add a little more olive oil if needed), sauté the thinly sliced red onions over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes until caramelized and soft. Sprinkle with flour and stir for 1 minute. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the optional thyme and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for another 5-7 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve

Serve the creamy mashed potatoes with the cooked sausages, generously drizzled with the rich onion gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Extra Tips

► For an even creamier mashed potato, use warm milk and butter, and mash with a potato ricer.

► You can enrich the gravy with a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar for a deeper flavor.

► Do not prick the sausages before cooking, this helps them retain their juiciness.
