bangers and mash with onion gravy
I've always been interested in food from the UK, and this dish is a classic. During wartime sausages were made with excess water, or "watered down," so much so that they made exploding noises when cooked, and that is how they came to be called "bangers."

How To Make bangers and mash with onion gravy
-
Step 1For the bangers: in a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the butter, and mix well. In a large skillet, heat the butter and form the meat mixture into sausage shapes and fry on each side over medium-high heat. Turn often, until they are browned on both sides.
-
Step 2For the potatoes: place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 25 minutes. Drain and add remaining ingredients. Mash up with a potato masher. May finish mashing with electric mixer to make them more smooth and creamy.
-
Step 3For the onion gravy: heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Add onions and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden but not browned, about 30 minutes. Add flour and stir until smooth. Pour in chicken broth and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until gravy is thick and bubbly. Salt to taste.
-
Step 4To serve, place sausages on plates with mashed potatoes on the side and cover all with gravy. Serve hot.
