A comforting homemade dinner featuring juicy pork sausages served over creamy buttery mashed potatoes, topped with rich and flavorful caramelized onion gravy. Perfect for cozy nights and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 pork sausages (Cumberland or bratwurst preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup whole milk, warmed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups beef or vegetable broth
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place peeled and quartered Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well and set aside.
  2. While potatoes boil, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook sausages for 12-15 minutes, turning regularly until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
  3. Return drained potatoes to pot or bowl. Add softened butter and warmed milk. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add 2 tablespoons butter. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring often, for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Add a splash of water if pan gets dry.
  5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over onions and stir continuously for 2 minutes. Gradually add 1 ½ cups broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer for 5 minutes until gravy thickens. Stir in Worcestershire sauce if using, then season with salt and pepper.
  6. To serve, spoon mashed potatoes onto plates, place sausages on top, and ladle creamy onion gravy over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use a potato ricer for ultra-smooth mash or a masher for a more rustic texture. Caramelize onions slowly to avoid bitterness. If gravy is too thick, add more broth to loosen. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour or cornstarch. Warming milk before adding to mash keeps potatoes fluffy.
