Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Boil until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter and milk to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bangers

    In a large skillet, cook the Irish bangers over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the bangers are cooking, steam the carrots and peas until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. In a small skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, create a mound of mashed potatoes, place the cooked bangers on top, and ladle the gravy over the sausages. Add the steamed carrots and peas on the side. Top with crispy fried onions.
