Ingredients

  • 4 Bangers or pork sausages

For the mash:

  • 3 Large russet potatoes peeled
  • ½ to 1 Cup of milk
  • 3 Tablespoons of butter

For the onion gravy:

  • 1 Large onion thinly sliced
  • 1½ Cups of beef broth or 1 14.5 oz can
  • 1 Cup of Guinness
  • 3 Tablespoons of flour
  • 2 Tablespoons of butter
  • 1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ Teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper

Optional garnish:

  • Chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Start making the mash: Cut the peeled potatoes up into roughly 2 inch sized chunks, and toss them into a large pot. Add enough water to this pot so that the potatoes are covered by an inch or two. Place this pot over medium-high heat and let it boil.
  • Brown up the bangers: While to potatoes are boiling, brown up the bangers in a large walled pan, for about 5 to 7 minutes each side. Then take the bangers out and set them aside.
  • Make the onion gravy: Toss in and melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in the same pan. Then add and saute the sliced onion for 8 to 10 minutes, until they are browned up. Once you’ve done that, toss in the flour and stir it into the onion slices for 1 minute. Finally slowly add in the Guinness, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir this all up and let it come to a simmer.
  • Return the bangers to the gravy: Return the bangers to the pan and let it simmer with the lid on for 15 to 20 minutes. Add some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Finish making the mash: Check to make sure the potatoes are cooked by piercing them with a fork, if it goes in easily then they are cooked. Now drain them of the water and put the pot back over medium heat. Add in the butter, and shake the pot until the butter melts and covers all of the potatoes. Take the pot off the heat. Add about ¼ cup of the milk and begin mashing the potatoes with a potato masher. Then add more milk and mix it into the potatoes until it is the consistency you prefer. Finally, add in some salt and pepper to taste
  • Serve the bangers & mash by scooping out a hefty amount of the mashed potatoes on a plate. Then top these mashed potatoes with 1 or 2 bangers, and smother it with the onion gravy. Sprinkle on top some parsley if you are using it and enjoy!
