Restated from the original video
- 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even 4-5 cm chunks. Put them in a large pot, cover with cold water and add a good pinch of salt.
- 2
Bring to a boil, then simmer until a knife slides in with no resistance, 15-20 min.
- 3
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat and add the sausages.
- 4
Cook slowly, turning every few minutes, until browned all over and cooked through to 71 °C (160 °F) inside, 15-20 min. Move them to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- 5
Add 15 g of the butter and the onions to the sausage pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until soft and deep golden, 12-15 min.
- 6
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 min.
- 7
Add the stock a little at a time, stirring and scraping up the browned bits, then add the Worcestershire sauce.
- 8
Simmer until the gravy is thick enough to coat a spoon, 3-5 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- 9
Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry in the colander for 2 min.
- 10
Warm the milk with the remaining butter in the empty pot until the butter melts.
- 11
Return the potatoes and mash until smooth. Season well with salt and pepper.
- 12
Spoon the mash onto plates, lay two sausages on each and pour the onion gravy over the top.
