Directions

• Step 1: Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
• Boil the Potatoes:
• Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
• Mash the Potatoes:
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk and butter, and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm.
• Step 2: Cook the Sausages
• Brown the Sausages:
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
• Step 3: Make the Caramelized Onion Gravy
• Caramelize the Onions:
• In the same skillet, add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onions and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
• Make the Gravy:
• Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add thyme leaves if using. Simmer until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Step 4: Assemble the Dish
• Plate the Dish:
• Divide the mashed potatoes among plates, top with sausages, and spoon the caramelized onion gravy over the top. Serve immediately.
