Bangers and Mash

Bangers and Mash

A lighter twist on the British classic, this Bangers and Mash features juicy chicken sausages, buttery mashed potatoes, savory onion gravy, and sweet green peas  perfect for a cozy, comforting meal.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 chicken sausages
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Warm a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Boil peeled potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  3. Add olive oil to skillet and brown chicken sausages for 12–15 minutes, turning until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, sauté onions for 8–10 minutes until soft and golden.
  5. Sprinkle flour over onions, stir, then gradually whisk in broth. Simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
  6. Drain potatoes and mash with butter and warm milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Return sausages to the skillet and warm in the gravy for 2–3 minutes.
  8. Heat peas until just tender.
  9. Serve mash topped with sausages, pour over gravy, and add peas on the side.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for creamier mashed texture.
  • Let onions fully caramelize before adding flour for deeper gravy flavor.
  • Add herbs like thyme or parsley for extra aroma and brightness.
  • Double the gravy recipe if you love it extra saucy.
