1Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Prepare your sausages by placing them on a baking tray, poking a few small holes in the casing and applying a little oil to the outside. Once your oven is hot, place them inside. The sausages should take around 20-25 minutes to cook.
2Peel and dice your potatoes and place them into a pot of cold salted water. If you are looking to cut down the cooking time, this is a great place to do that. You can cut your potatoes into smaller pieces and place them in boiling water. Both of these steps would reduce your potato boiling time.
3Chop up your onions and place them into a hot saucepan. Season generously with salt, sugar, and a few splashes of malt vinegar. Allow to cook for 10 minutes before adding your chicken stock. Cook on high heat until the stock has evaporated. This should take 10-15 minutes.
4Once your potatoes are cooked through (a knife easily glides into them), begin the prep for your mash. Gently heat the milk and butter in a wide pot until the butter has melted. If you have a potato ricer, use it to process your potatoes directly into the pan. If you are using a potato masher, place your boiled potatoes in the pan and mash. You want to be left with a creamy mix that is free from lumps. Season with salt to taste.
5Remove your sausages from the oven and serve. Ensure they are piping hot and cooked through before serving. Place a generous scoop of mash, a sausage and some of your oven gravy on a plate to serve.
6Finish with a spoon of Colman’s mustard. If you are looking for a drink pairing, this would perfectly accompany a Guinness. Enjoy!
