Ingredients
- 4 sausages
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup peas
- 1 cup gravy
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 carrots, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), preparing a large baking dish for the sausages and vegetables.
- Slice the onions and chop the carrots into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the sausages on all sides, creating a golden exterior. This should take approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Transfer the browned sausages to the prepared baking dish and arrange the sliced onions and chopped carrots around them.
- Season the sausages and vegetables with salt and pepper, ensuring an even distribution of seasoning.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, until the sausages are fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
- While the sausages are roasting, prepare the mashed potatoes by boiling them until soft, then mashing with butter and milk to create a creamy texture.
- Steam the peas until they are bright green and tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Warm the gravy in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Remove the sausages and vegetables from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Plate the dish by placing mashed potatoes as a base, arranging sausages on top, surrounding with roasted vegetables, and garnishing with steamed peas.
- Pour warm gravy over the sausages and around the plate, creating a rich and inviting presentation.
Tips
- Choose high-quality sausages for the best flavor - preferably locally sourced or from a butcher
- Brown sausages before roasting to lock in maximum flavor and achieve a beautiful golden exterior
- For extra creamy mashed potatoes, use warm milk and real butter
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after cooking to allow flavors to settle and juices to redistribute
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the most vibrant taste and nutrition
- Don't rush the roasting process - patience ensures tender, flavorful sausages and vegetables
