Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 medium sausages
- 1 medium onion
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a lightly greased baking dish. Spread evenly.
Arrange the cooked sausages on top of the mashed potatoes, slightly pressing them down.
Sprinkle the cooked onions evenly over the sausages and potatoes.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
