Ina Garten Bangers and Mash Recipe
There is something so comforting about a warm plate of sausages and mashed potatoes. This Ina Garten Bangers and Mash Recipe brings that cozy feeling to your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 8 pork sausages
- 4 large potatoes peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup milk
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 large onions sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel and chop the potatoes into even pieces. This helps them cook evenly. Place them in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft.
Cook the Sausages
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook slowly. Turn them often so they brown evenly. Cook until fully done and juicy inside.
Slice the Onions
- While sausages cook, peel and slice onions thinly. Thin slices cook faster and become soft. Set them aside for the gravy.
- Make the Mashed Potatoes
- Drain the cooked potatoes well. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
Start the Onion Gravy
- In the same skillet, add olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook slowly. Stir often until they turn soft and golden brown.
Add Flour for Thickness
- Sprinkle flour over the onions. Stir well to combine. This helps thicken the gravy later. Cook for one minute to remove raw taste.
Pour in the Broth
- Slowly add beef broth while stirring. This prevents lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor. Let it simmer until thick and rich.
Combine and Serve
- Place mashed potatoes on a plate. Add sausages on top. Pour warm onion gravy over everything. Serve hot and enjoy your meal.
Notes
- Use high-quality sausages for better flavor
- Add garlic to mashed potatoes for extra taste
- Use chicken broth instead of beef if preferred
- Add a splash of cream for richer mash
- Try caramelizing onions slowly for deeper flavor
- Use sweet potatoes for a healthy twist
