How to Make Bangers And Mash With Golden Onions

  1. Prick the sausages all over with a fork and gently blanch them in boiling water for 5 minutes. This prevents bursting. Remove and set aside.
  2. While the sausages are blanching, peel and cube the potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  3. Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened. Add minced garlic (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add brown sugar and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown and caramelized (about 15-20 minutes).
  5. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan. Mash until smooth. Gradually add warm milk (or cream), stirring until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. If desired, whisk 1 tbsp flour into the pan juices from the onions, and cook for 1 minute to create a simple gravy.
  7. Meanwhile, pan-fry or bake the blanched sausages until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve the sausages on a bed of mashed potatoes, topped with the caramelized onions. Drizzle with any onion gravy, if made.
