How to cook deliciously - Irish Sausages & Champ

1 . Stage

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a large heatproof bowl, mix butter, half-and-half, and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook potatoes in boiling water until very soft, 20 to 25 minutes.

2 . Stage

Drain potatoes, then immediately add to bowl with butter mixture. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth (alternatively, using a potato ricer, rice potatoes over butter mixture). Stir in scallions. Cover with foil or a plate to keep warm.

3 . Stage

While potatoes cook, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Cook sausages, turning often, until golden brown on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

4 . Stage

In same skillet over medium-high heat, toss onion with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often and adding a splash of water if onions start to burn or stick, until very soft and deeply caramelized, about 30 minutes.

5 . Stage

Add garlic to skillet with onions and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with flour and stir to combine. Add beer and scrape any bits on bottom of pan. Stir in stock and mustard, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until gravy is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes; season with salt, if needed. Nestle sausages into gravy and simmer, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 2 minutes.

6 . Stage

Divide potatoes among plates. Top with sausages. Spoon gravy over.
