Sausages

Mashed Potatoes

Gravy (optional)

Method

Cooking the Sausages

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausages

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the Irish sausages and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through.

Making the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  2. 3

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of milk. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Making the Gravy (optional)

  1. 4

    Sauté the Onion

    In the same skillet used for the sausages, add the chopped onion. Sauté over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Gravy

    Add 2 cups of beef broth to the skillet with the onions. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the broth and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
