Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 red onion, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into large chunks (no need to peel unless you want to!)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • Salt and pepper
  • 8 cooked sausages (your choice of flavor, but pork is traditional)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

Instruction

  • Make the gravy first: Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until they are soft, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour, then the wine and broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes until the gravy is slightly thickened. Season to taste the salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Make the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender about 15 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and mash them roughly with a potato masher. Stir in milk and mash again. Stir in butter and cream cheese and mash again. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned.
  • Put a mound of mashed potatoes on each plate, top with two sausages and ladle the gravy on top.
