Ingredients
  

4 pork sausages (your choice: classic, spicy, or herb-infused)

4 large potatoes, peeled and quartered

⅓ cup milk

2 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, thinly sliced

1 cup beef or vegetable broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, add the quartered potatoes and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

    Cook the Sausages: While the potatoes are boiling, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

      Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.

        Make the Gravy: Pour in the beef or vegetable broth, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard (if using). Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Mash the Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

            Combine: Add the cooked sausages back into the skillet with the onion gravy and let them heat through for a minute.

              Serve: Spoon a generous portion of the mashed potatoes onto plates, top with sausages, and drizzle with the onion gravy. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
