Ingredients
  

4 pork sausages (or your choice of vegan sausages)

1 lb (450g) Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

¼ cup milk (or dairy-free milk alternative)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or vegan butter)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups beef or vegetable stock

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Sausages:

    - In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sausages and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

      Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:

        - While the sausages are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

          - Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

            Make the Onion Gravy:

              - In the same skillet used for the sausages, add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

                - Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the stock, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

                  - Stir in the Dijon mustard and let the gravy simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

                    Combine and Serve:

                      - Place a generous serving of mashed potatoes on each plate.

                        - Top with the cooked sausages and ladle the onion gravy over the entire dish.

                          - Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
