Ingredients
- 2 lbs. of your favorite uncooked sausages, we used Swedish potato sausages
- Oil, for browning sausage
- 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- cornstarch slurry, to thicken (1 Tbs. cornstarch mixed with 2 Tbs. water until smooth)
Mashed Potatoes and Onion Gravy:
- 8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled, quartered
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1-2 tsp. prepared horseradish
- 1 cup sour cream
- milk, as needed
Instructions
- Using the saute setting on the Instant Pot, brown off sausages in a bit of oil; remove sausages and reserve. Add the sliced onions to the sausage drippings; saute the onions for 1 minute, then add broth to to the pot to deglaze it, loosening all the particles that have stuck to the bottom of the pot.
- Return the reserved sausages to the Instant Pot; add the lid, locking it into place. Use the manual setting to choose high pressure for 5 minutes, bringing the Instant Pot to full pressure. When the timer sounds, use a natural release for 5 minutes, then a quick release to remove any remaining pressure from the Instant Pot.
- Meanwhile, make the mashed potatoes by boiling the potatoes in broth until fork-tender, 20-25 minutes (If using an Instant Pot to cook potatoes, cook on high pressure setting for 8 minutes with a quick release.). While the potatoes are cooking, simmer the cream and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes; keep warm.
- Mash the cooked potatoes, then add warmed cream and garlic, along with the egg, horseradish and sour cream, adding milk as needed to make the potatoes creamy and fluffy.
- Remove the cooked sausages from the Instant Pot; then add a bit of slurry to liquids remaining in the pot using the saute setting. Whisk the gravy to prevent lumps, stirring until the onion gravy is nicely thickened.
- Serve the Bangers and Mash in bowls, topped with warm onion gravy.
Notes
