Bangers and mash gets its name because sausages used to bang or burst while cooking. Mash, meanwhile, refers to the mashed potatoes. This recipe was a staple at our home in Dublin at Halloween. It is a very cheap, very traditional supper, and one that truly requires good sausage. Please note that this is a very thin gravy, as is traditional. It will still be very liquidy.

Ingredients

  • 4 linkss pork sausage
  • 2 pounds potatoes , peeled and cubed
  • 0.25 cups butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk , Optional
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 large onions , chopped
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups red wine

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Cook sausages in a skillet over medium-low heat until browned, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to an oven-safe dish and keep warm in the preheated oven.

  3. 3

    Place potatoes into a saucepan over medium heat and cover with water; bring to a boil and simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
