Sausage, mash & gravy

Ingredients:

For the sausages:

• 6-8 good quality pork sausages
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the mashed potatoes:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the gravy:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups beef or chicken stock
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the sausages:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2. Make the mashed potatoes:

• While the sausages are cooking, place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with water.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Prepare the gravy:

• In the same skillet used to cook the sausages, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
• Gradually whisk in the stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Serve:

• Serve the sausages with the mashed potatoes and gravy on the side, or pour the gravy over the sausages and mashed potatoes. Enjoy your delicious sausage, mash, and gravy!
