The Good Bit
- Dry fry the sausages in the griddle pan for about 4 minutes then add the onion wedges and cook for a further 6 minutes, keep an eye on the sausage and turn occasionally to brown evenly, try to only turn the onion once or twice to caramelise it in strips to give a lovely effect.
- Boil the potatoes for 10-12 minutes until you can stick a fork in them and they break easily. Drain the pan and then mash the potatoes with the butter, when it's well mashed add in the mustards and garlic and a little drizzle of oil and mash again until you have a smooth mixture, you can even add a little chopped parsley at this point for extra flavour, Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve a helping of mash with a couple of sausages and top off with a couple of onion wedges.
