Ingredients

• 6 pieces sausages (pork or beef)
• 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

While the potatoes cook, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and fully cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the onions are deeply caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the caramelized onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the beef stock to create a smooth gravy. Add the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 6

To serve, divide the mashed potatoes among plates. Top with sausages and spoon the onion gravy generously over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
