Ingredients
  

4 Irish pork sausages (bangers)

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1/2 cup milk

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 large onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (optional for thickening)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: In a large pot, add the peeled and cubed russet potatoes and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

    Cook the Bangers: While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Irish pork sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Once cooked through, remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add the olive oil and sliced onions. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are caramelized and golden.

        Make the Gravy: Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme to the skillet with the onions. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. If you prefer a thicker gravy, stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.

          Mash the Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth and creamy.

            Assemble the Dish: On a plate, serve a generous scoop of mashed potatoes topped with the sausages. Spoon the Guinness onion gravy generously over the top.

              Garnish and Serve: Optional: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
