Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 teaspoons butter, divided
½ cup milk, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds beef sausage
½ cup diced onion
1 (.75 ounce) packet dry brown gravy mix
1 cup water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, and mash with 1 teaspoon of butter, and enough milk to reach your desired creaminess. Continue mashing, or beat with an electric mixer, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until heated through. Remove from pan, and set aside. Add remaining teaspoon of butter to the skillet, and fry the onions over medium heat until tender. Mix gravy mix and water as directed on the package, and add to the skillet with the onions. Simmer, stirring constantly, to form a thick gravy.

  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until potatoes are evenly brown.

salt and fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • 4. Cook slowly for approx 10 mins or until the onions are soft and translucent.
  • 5. Add the sugar and balsamic vinegar to the onions and stir well. Cover with the lid and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the stock and boil gently uncovered for 5 minutes.
  • 6. In a heatproof bowl mix the corn starch/flour with the cold water to a thin paste. Pour a little of the hot gravy into the starch mixture and mix thoroughly. Pour the starch mixture back into the gravy, raise the heat to high and boil for 10 minutes or until the gravy is slightly thickened. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • 7. Finish the mash by placing the milk and butter in the pan used to boil the potatoes, return to the heat and warm gently until the butter has melted.
  • 8. Add the potatoes and mash using either a potato masher, a fork or a potato ricer. Whip the mashed potato lightly with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 9. To Serve: Spoon the mash onto 4 warmed dinner plates, place two fat sausages either on the top or at the side of the mash and pour the hot onion gravy over. Enjoy!

Provided by Jordan Ballantine

Categories     Snacks

Yield 16 bombs

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ½ tablespoons butter
1 onion, diced
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 ⅓ lb potato, peeled, chopped, and boiled
⅓ cup cheddar cheese, grated
¼ cup softened butter
8 pork sausages, cooked
¾ cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs, beaten
¾ cup bread crumbs
peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
gravy, for serving

  • Mash together the potatoes, caramelized onions, cheese, softened butter, salt, and pepper.
  • Cut the sausages into 2-inch pieces and encase the sausage pieces in the potato mixture.
  • Add the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs to 3 separate shallow bowls.
  • Coat the sausages first in the flour, then the eggs, followed by the bread crumbs, then once more in the eggs and bread crumbs. (In order to reduce mess, maintain one "dry" hand for coating in the flour and bread crumbs and one "wet" for coating in the egg.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 325˚F (160°C). If you don't have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of white bread. If it sizzles and browns within 45 seconds, the oil is ready.
  • Carefully deep-fry the bangers and mash bombs 4 at a time for a few minutes, until golden brown.
  • Drain on a paper towel, sprinkle with salt, and serve with warm gravy.

Provided by MarraMamba

Categories     Pork

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon dripping
100 g plain flour
3 eggs
200 ml milk
8 beef sausages, best butcher's
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 kg potato, peeled and cubed
1 dash milk
2 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons creamed horseradish
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 red onions, peeled, halved and then, sliced
1 whole garlic clove (optional)
4 sage leaves, chopped
300 ml sweet marsala wine or 300 ml madeira wine
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or 1 teaspoon coarse grain mustard
1 pinch sea salt, and
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 220ºC/gas 7.
  • First make the Yorkshire pudding. Heat the lard in a large shallow, round roasting tray in the oven until very hot.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, eggs and milk to form a smooth, lump-free batter. Pour the batter into the hot roasting tray and roast until well-risen, around 20-30 minutes. Remove the Yorkshire pudding, keeping it in the tray, and set aside.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 180ºC/gas.
  • Place the sausages in a greased oven tray and bake them for 30 minutes until cooked through, turning now and then so that they colour evenly. Half-way through the sausage's baking time, return the Yorkshire pudding to the oven and heat through for 15 minutes until hot and crisp.
  • Meanwhile, cook the cubed potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain, add in the milk and butter and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Beat with a hand whisk until smooth and creamy. Stir through the creamed horseradish.
  • To make the onion gravy, gently heat the butter and olive oil in a frying pan. When hot, add the onions and begin to fry gently. After five minutes, add the chopped sage and garlic. On a gentle heat, add in the Marsala wine and turn up the heat so that everything begins to bubble.
  • Sniff the pan and see if alcohol smell has evaporated. If it has, turn the heat down. Stir the mustard into the pan and cook for a final 5 minutes.
  • To serve, turn out the crisped Yorkshire pudding from its tin. Place on a plate, fill with a generous serve of mash, stick several sausages into the mash pile and cover the bangers and mash with lashings of the onion gravy!

TRUE BANGERS AND MASH WITH ONION GRAVY



True Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy image

Bangers and mash gets its name because sausages used to burst (or bang) while cooking, due to rusk (dried bread) being added to the meat. Mash, meanwhile, refers to the mashed potatoes. This recipe was a staple at our home in Dublin at Halloween. It is a very cheap, very traditional supper, and one that truly requires good sausage. Try to use a good quality sausage or perhaps even a bratwurst. Please note that this is a very thin gravy, as is traditional. It will still be very liquidy.

1/2 cup diced onion
1 (.75 ounce) packet dry brown gravy mix
1 cup water, or as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, and mash with 1 teaspoon of butter, and enough milk to reach your desired creaminess. Continue mashing, or beat with an electric mixer, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until heated through. Remove from pan, and set aside. Add remaining teaspoon of butter to the skillet, and fry the onions over medium heat until tender. Mix gravy mix and water as directed on the package, and add to the skillet with the onions.

Tips:

  • Select good quality sausages: Choose sausages made with high-quality meat and spices. Look for sausages that are plump and firm, avoiding any that are shriveled or discolored.
  • Cook the sausages properly: Sausages can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, frying, or baking. Be sure to cook the sausages until they are cooked through, with an internal temperature of at least 160°F (70°C).
  • Use fresh, fluffy mashed potatoes: Mashed potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to bangers and mash. For the best results, use freshly mashed potatoes made with real butter and milk. Avoid using instant mashed potatoes, as they will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • Add your own twist: Bangers and mash is a classic dish, but there are many ways to add your own personal touch. Try adding different herbs or spices to the mashed potatoes, or serving the dish with a gravy or sauce of your choice.

Conclusion:
