• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 20–22 minutes
• Total Time: ~30 minutes
• Servings: 2–3

Ingredients

For the Bangers (Sausages)

• 4 pork sausages (Cumberland, Lincolnshire, or your favorite)
• ½ tablespoon olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

For the Mash

• 3 medium potatoes (peeled and chopped)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup milk (warm)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Onion Gravy

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• ½ tablespoon butter
• ½ tablespoon flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Sausages

• Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
• Place sausages in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly brush with olive oil for extra crispiness.
• Air fry for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F/71°C).

Step 2: Make the Mashed Potatoes

• While the sausages cook, boil the potatoes in salted water for 10–12 minutes until fork-tender.
• Drain and mash with butter, warm milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Prepare the Onion Gravy

• Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until soft and caramelized (~5 minutes).
• Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Gradually pour in beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
• Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, and simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened.

Step 4: Assemble and Serve

• Plate the mashed potatoes, top with sausages, and generously drizzle with onion gravy.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

• For extra crispy sausages, increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 2–3 minutes.
• Try different sausages like chicken, beef, or plant-based for variety.
• Make ahead: The onion gravy and mashed potatoes can be prepared in advance and reheated before serving.
