Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Sausages

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Toss sausages with 1 tablespoon oil and arrange on the sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Mashed Potatoes

Add potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes or until tender. Drain well and mash. Stir in warm milk, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Cover and keep warm.

Step 3: Prepare the Onion Gravy

Heat remaining oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, cover, and cook about 20 minutes until caramelized, adding ½ cup water halfway through. Stir in butter, then flour and cook 1 minute. Add wine and cook until nearly evaporated. Pour in broth and simmer 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Serve

Spoon mashed potatoes onto plates, top with sausages, and generously ladle onion gravy over everything. Serve hot.

Notes

Yukon Gold potatoes create the creamiest mash without cream
Slow-cooked onions give the gravy its rich, pub-style depth
Sausages can be baked ahead and rewarmed before serving
