Steps

  1. Fry the sausages in oil over medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes; keep warm.

  2. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes, then drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper.

  3. For the gravy, melt the butter and cook the onions slowly until deeply golden and soft, about 15 minutes.

  4. Stir in the flour and cook 1 minute, then whisk in the stock and Worcestershire sauce and simmer until thickened.

  5. Serve the sausages over the mash, smothered in onion gravy.
