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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from heat.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a lightly greased baking dish. Spread evenly.

Step 7

Arrange the cooked sausages on top of the mashed potatoes, slightly pressing them down.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cooked onions evenly over the sausages and potatoes.

Step 9

Top with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across the dish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
