Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
- 4–5 medium potatoes
- 4–5 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3–4 bay leaves
- 1 cup milk
- Salt (to taste)
Sausage & Stout Onion Gravy:
- 3 sausages
- 1 onion
- 2½ cups beef stock
- ½ cup dark beer (stout, porter, or any dark beer)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon + ¼ teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon + ¼ teaspoon cold water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap garlic cloves in foil and roast for about 20 minutes or until soft and golden.
- Peel and cube the potatoes. Boil in salted water with bay leaves until fork-tender. Drain well.
- Mash the potatoes with butter, roasted garlic, and warm milk. Add salt to taste and stir until smooth and creamy.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausages until browned and fully cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, thinly slice the onion and sauté until golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in beef stock, dark beer, soy sauce, and maple syrup. Stir and bring to a simmer.
- Mix cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry. Slowly whisk into the gravy, cooking until thickened and glossy.
- To serve, plate mashed potatoes, top with sausages, and generously spoon over the stout onion gravy.
Notes
- For creamier potatoes, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
- Use your favorite sausage—Cumberland, bratwurst, or even plant-based for a vegetarian version.
- Substitute stout with beef broth if avoiding alcohol.
- Add a splash of cream to the potatoes for extra richness.
- Gravy can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
