Equipment
- Baking dish
- Skillet for gravy
- Knife and cutting board
- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 8 pork sausages (or beef/chicken/vegetarian alternatives)
- 1 lb (450 g) potatoes, cut into chunks
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Chop potatoes into chunks, slice onions, and preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Brown Sausages: Pan-fry sausages until golden on all sides.
- Make Gravy: In the same skillet, cook onions until caramelized. Stir in flour, then slowly whisk in beef stock. Add Worcestershire sauce, butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Simmer until thickened.
- Assemble Bake: Place sausages and potatoes in a baking dish. Pour gravy over and toss gently.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes until potatoes are tender and sausages are cooked through.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot with peas, carrots, or crusty bread.
Notes
- Pro Tip: Brown sausages before baking for deeper flavor.
- Use starchy potatoes (like russets) if you want them to soak up gravy, or waxy potatoes (like Yukon Golds) if you prefer them firm.
- Mushroom gravy makes a great vegetarian alternative.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze portions for 1 month.
- Reheat in the oven for best texture—avoid microwaving to keep potatoes crisp.
