Ingredients

• 6 pieces pork sausages (or preferred variety)
• 2 pounds yellow potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup beef or chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes into even pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Bring the pot of potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes cook, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are golden and caramelized. Add the stock, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet, and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

To serve, divide the mashed potatoes onto plates, top with sausages, and spoon the golden onions over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
