Description

Brimming with flavor, Irish bangers and mash hit the spot when you're looking for a hearty, comforting dinner to banish the wintery chill.

Ingredients

  • 2 large potatoes, peeled, quartered
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 6 irish sausages (or other pork sausage)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef or ham stock
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes; cook 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain; let sit 5 minutes. Break potatoes up with a masher. Add butter, milk, salt and pepper; mash until potatoes are creamy and fluffy.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages; cook 2-3 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Remove to a 15x10x1-in. baking sheet. Bake 15-18 minutes or until cooked through.
  3. In the skillet with the sausage drippings, add onions and butter. Cook over medium heat until tender, 5-6 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper. Stir in flour; slowly whisk in stock. Bring to a simmer; let reduce and thicken 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Dollop mashed potatoes on plates; top with sausages and gravy.
