True Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

Ingredients

• 4 links pork sausage
• 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 cups red wine

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium-low heat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to an oven-safe dish and move to the preheated oven to keep warm.

Place potatoes into a saucepan over medium heat, cover with water, and boil gently until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mix in 1/4 cup of butter, milk, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper; mash until fluffy and smooth. Set aside.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the onions until translucent and just starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and red wine; boil the mixture down to about half its volume, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. To serve, place a sausage onto a serving plate with about 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. Pour the onion gravy over the sausage and potatoes.
