Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, peeled, quartered
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- SAUSAGES AND GRAVY:
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Dollop mashed potatoes on plates; top with sausages and gravy.
