Start by peeling and chopping the potatoes into roughly 2-inch chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the vegetarian sausages and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced onion. SautΓ© for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent and starting to caramelize.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to toast the flour slightly.
Gradually add the vegetable broth to the pan, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and allow the gravy to thicken, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and add more if needed. Keep warm on a low heat.
Once the potatoes are done, drain and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning to taste.
To serve, place a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on each plate. Top with two vegetarian sausages and a ladle of onion gravy. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting vegetarian bangers and mash!
