“Bangers and Mash” is British slang for sausages and creamy mashed potatoes. “Bangers” refers to the sausages – named as such because back then, sausages would burst open “with a bang!” when cooked unless you pricked with a fork.

Directions:
For the Bangers & Gravy
Cook sausages: Heat oil in a large skillet / fry pan over medium high heat. Add sausages and cook, turning, until browned as much as possible all over and cooked through. Cook time will differ depending on sausage size.

Remove sausages onto a plate. Turn heat down to medium.

You need around 2 Tbsp oil left in the skillet. If you have less, add a bit of butter or oil.

Add onion and garlic, cook until golden brown, around 4 minutes.

Add flour and mix through. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add about 3/4 cup of beef broth and mix into the onion so it becomes a sludge. Then add remaining beef broth and mix until combined. If it's lumpy, use a whisk to help make it smooth.

Simmer, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes until the gravy thickens but is slightly thinner than you want as it will thicken as cools.
​
​Add salt and pepper to taste.

For the Mashed Potatoes
Place in a large pot with 1 Tbsp salt. Add enough water so it’s 4” above the potatoes.

Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat so it’s simmering rapidly. Cook 15 minutes or until potatoes are very soft (poke with fork to test, they should fall apart).

Drain well, return into pot. Leave for 1 minute, shaking pot every now and then, to allow water to completely evaporate.

​Add butter, milk, and salt and mash well with masher.

Note:  DO NOT use a beater, stick blender, food processor or blender as potatoes will quickly go from perfect to hard and gluey.

Top with melted butter. Sprinkle with chives or parsley.
