Description

Satisfyingly simple, yet incredibly delicious, this Easy Bangers and Mash recipe features succulent sausages (bangers) served alongside creamy mashed potatoes, and topped with rich onion gravy.

Ingredients

Scale

Bangers (Sausages):

  • 5–6 bangers (sausages)
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil

Mashed Potatoes:

  • 3 russet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream

Onion Gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon gravy master

For Serving:

  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
  • Stoneground mustard

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Place the sausages on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked.
  4. While the sausages are cooking, melt the butter in a pot over medium heat.
  5. Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
  6. In another pot, heat the heavy cream and butter for the potatoes, until warm.
  7. Pass the boiled potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl. Gradually, add the warmed cream and butter mixture (you may not use it all), mixing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
  8. In the pot with the caramelized onions, sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the onions and cook for a few more minutes.
  9. Add the flour and stir to coat the onions. Cook for an additional two minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  10. Pour in the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and gravy master. Bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy has thickened.
  11. To serve, spoon a generous portion of mashed potatoes onto a plate. Top with cooked sausages and ladle the onion gravy over the top.
  12. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with a dollop of stoneground mustard on the side.
  13. ENJOY!

Equipment

Notes

  1. Begin by preparing the potatoes first, as they typically take the longest to cook. While they’re boiling, you can work on other components of the dish.
  2. Optimize your time by starting the sausages in the oven early on. This allows them to cook slowly and evenly while you focus on other tasks.
  3. Utilize the time while the sausages are cooking to start caramelizing the onions for the gravy. Slow-cooking them ensures maximum flavor development.
  4. Keep an eye on the timing to ensure that all components of the dish finish cooking around the same time. Adjust cooking times as needed to synchronize the preparation of the sausages, mashed potatoes, and onion gravy for a cohesive and delicious meal.
  5. Don’t forget to season each component as you go. Seasoning the potatoes and onions as they cook enhances their flavors and contributes to the overall deliciousness of the dish.
  6. Serve with a side of peas for a more traditional bangers and mash. 
  7. Adding herbs like fresh thyme to the gravy will add another dimension of flavor. 
  8. Feel free to add a touch of red wine to the caramelized onions (reducing the amount of stock, comparably).
