Bangers and mash is a classic British dish consisting of sausages (bangers) and mashed potatoes (mash). The sausages are typically made from pork, but can also be made from beef, lamb, or a combination of meats. They are usually grilled, fried, or baked, and served with a rich onion gravy. The mashed potatoes are made from boiled potatoes, butter, milk, and salt and pepper. They are typically mashed until smooth and creamy. Bangers and mash is often served with peas, carrots, or other vegetables. It is a hearty and filling dish that is perfect for a cold winter day.
**Variations of Bangers and Mash:**
* **Bubble and squeak:** A variation on bangers and mash that uses leftover mashed potatoes and cabbage. The potatoes and cabbage are fried together until crispy, and then served with sausages and gravy.
* **Toad in the hole:** A dish made with sausages that are baked in a Yorkshire pudding batter. The sausages are typically served with onion gravy.
* **Cumberland sausage and mash:** A variation on bangers and mash that uses Cumberland sausages. Cumberland sausages are a type of pork sausage that is flavored with herbs and spices.
* **Vegetarian bangers and mash:** A vegetarian version of bangers and mash that uses vegetarian sausages. Vegetarian sausages are typically made from vegetables, grains, or beans.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Make the onion gravy in advance. See our recipe for the BEST onion gravy.
- To Make the Mash: Place the potatoes in a pot of water and add the salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a steady simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they potatoes are just tender when pierced with a knife. Be careful not to over-boil them. Thoroughly drain the potatoes and place them back in the empty pot set over very low heat just to maintain warmth. If using a ricer or food mill (this creates the most optimal texture), run the potatoes through it now while they're hot. If using a hand masher mash the potatoes while they're hot. (Avoid using an electric mixer or food processor. See blog post for explanation.) Mash the potatoes until fluffy and you've reached the desired degree of smoothness. Be careful not to over-mash or the potatoes will become gluey. Use a spoon to stir in the butter. Once melted stir in the hot milk gradually, allowing time for the potatoes to absorb the liquid after each addition. Add more hot milk as needed to achieve desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To Prepare the Sausages: While the potatoes are boiling place the sausages in a baking dish with a little oil and roast the sausages for about 10 minutes on each side or until nicely browned. (Alternatively you can fry the sausages but baking them creates an especially nice crispy outer shell with a juicy interior.) For sausage-making enthusiasts we highly recommend our Homemade British Bangers.
- To serve, place a mound of mashed potatoes on each plate, lay the sausages on the mashed potatoes and top with onion gravy. Peas are a traditional side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, and mash with 1 teaspoon of butter, and enough milk to reach your desired creaminess. Continue mashing, or beat with an electric mixer, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until heated through. Remove from pan, and set aside. Add remaining teaspoon of butter to the skillet, and fry the onions over medium heat until tender. Mix gravy mix and water as directed on the package, and add to the skillet with the onions. Simmer, stirring constantly, to form a thick gravy.
- Pour half of the gravy into a square casserole dish so that is coats the bottom. Place sausages in a layer over the gravy (you can butterfly the sausages if you wish). Pour remaining gravy over them, then top with mashed potatoes.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until potatoes are evenly brown.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan and gently sizzle the sausages over a medium-high heat for 8-10 mins, turning them, until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate, then put the butter in the pan and heat until sizzling. Scatter in the onions, stirring them into the butter, then add the thyme sprig, bay and sugar. Give everything a final stir, then put the sausages on top and drizzle over any juices from the plate. Roast everything for 20 mins, turning the sausages halfway through.
- Meanwhile, make the mash. Tip the potatoes into a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 10-12 mins or until just cooked all the way through (the tip of a knife should slide in easily). Drain in a colander and leave for a minute. Tip the milk into the pan and bring to a simmer, then pass the potatoes through a ricer into the hot milk and mash thoroughly. Once mashed, beat with a wooden spoon or spatula over very low heat, then beat in the butter a few bits at a time. You should have extra-fluffy, smooth mash. Keep it warm.
- When the sausages are cooked, remove from the oven, turn the oven off and lift the sausages onto a tray. Return them to the oven to keep warm. Put the pan back on the heat and give the roasted onions a stir, they should be sticky and slightly burnt around the edges. Sizzle for a minute or two more to caramelise, then stir in the flour and cook for another minute. Splash in the vinegar, simmer for a minute, then pour over the red wine and soy, and bubble down to a gloopy paste. Pour over the stock and boil for 3-4 mins, or until you have a rich gravy. If you prefer, scoop out the thyme and bay, or just leave it in. Tip into a bowl or gravy jug with a serving spoon for the onions. Bring everything to the table and scoop a big mound of mash onto the middle of each plate, then top with the sausages and gravy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Roast the sausages on a rack for 25 minutes, turning over halfway through the cooking time.
- While the sausages are roasting, dice the potatoes and boil them until very tender in water salted with 1 Tbs salt.
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter for the gravy in 12 inch skillet.
- In the skillet, saute the onions over medium-high heat until they are starting to caramelize, stirring often.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mix well before cooking for a few more minutes.
- Stir the broth, vinegar, worchestershire suace, mustard, pepper, and salt into the onions and continue to cook until the gravy thickens. This is not a super thick gravy, but it should coat a spoon.
- When the gravy is almost ready, the potatoes should be done. Mash the potatoes (I do this by hand, but you could use a mixer) with the milk, butter, nutmeg, and salt.
- Serve the gravy over the sausage and potatoes with a side of buttered peas.

Tips:
- For the Best Bangers: Use good quality pork sausages. Look for sausages that are made with fresh, local pork and have a high meat content (at least 70%). Avoid sausages that are made with fillers like bread crumbs or cereal.
- Cooking the Bangers: There are two main ways to cook bangers: grilling or frying. Grilling is the healthier option, as it allows the fat to drip away from the sausages. However, frying gives the sausages a nice crispy skin. If you are frying the sausages, be sure to use a non-stick pan and cook them over medium heat. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Making the Mash: The key to a good mash is to use fluffy potatoes. Russet potatoes are a good option, as they have a high starch content which helps to make the mash smooth and creamy. Be sure to boil the potatoes until they are very tender, then drain them well and mash them with butter, milk, and salt and pepper.
- Serving Bangers and Mash: Bangers and mash is traditionally served with onion gravy. You can make your own gravy from scratch, or use a store-bought gravy mix. Other popular accompaniments include mushy peas, pickled cabbage, and HP sauce.
Conclusion:
Bangers and mash is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also relatively easy to make, and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your bangers grilled or fried, and your mash smooth or chunky, there is a bangers and mash recipe out there for everyone.
