steps
- 1.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add sausages. Cook until browned on all sides, then transfer to the oven to finish cooking for about 15-20 minutes.
- 2.
While the sausages cook, place potatoes in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and return to the pot.

Add butter and milk to the potatoes; mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then keep warm.
- 4.
In the same skillet used for the sausages, add sliced onions over medium heat and cook until softened and caramelized, about 10 minutes.

Sprinkle flour into the skillet and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens.

Serve the bangers on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, generously ladled with the rich onion gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley.
