Air-Fryer Sausage & Mash With Onion Gravy preparation stage

You’ll Need

Main
2 good-quality pork sausages
250g potatoes, peeled and chopped
15g butter
30ml semi-skimmed milk
Onion Gravy
½ small onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp olive oil
½ beef stock cube
120ml boiling water
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp plain flour
Salt and black pepper

Optional but Dangerous
Garden peas
Wholegrain mustard
Crispy fried onions
Extra black pepper

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.

Place the sausages into the air fryer basket and cook for 14–16 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden, browned and cooked through.

Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in salted water for 15–18 minutes, until tender. Drain well.

Mash the potatoes with the butter, milk, salt and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

While the potatoes are cooking, place the sliced onion and olive oil into a small heatproof dish.

Air fry for 5–6 minutes, stirring once, until the onion has softened and started to caramelise.

Sprinkle over the flour and stir well.

Gradually add the boiling water, crumbled stock cube and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until smooth.

Return the gravy to the air fryer for 3–4 minutes, stirring once, until thickened.

Serve the sausages on top of the mashed potato and spoon the rich onion gravy generously over everything.

Lad Tip: Buy good-quality butcher's sausages if you can. When you're only eating two, you'll really notice the difference, and they turn an everyday meal into something you'll happily make again.
