Ingredients

  • 8 links bratwurst sausage

For the potatoes:

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes cubed
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the gravy:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 3 cups beef-style broth
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Optional:

  • 1/4 cup scallions chopped, for garnish

Instructions

For the Sausages:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F.
  • Cook the bratwurst sausages according to package directions. Once they are fully cooked, transfer the sausages to an oven-safe dish and set them in the oven to keep warm.

For the Mashed Potatoes:

  • Place the cubed potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with 1-inch of water. Over medium-high heat, bring the potatoes to a gentle boil.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain in a colander then return the potatoes to the saucepan.
  • Add 1/4 cup butter, milk, mustard powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Mash until the potatoes have reached your desired level of consistency. Cover and set aside.

For the Gravy:

  • Set a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is melted, add the onions. Cook for about 6 minutes, or until onions are just beginning to brown.
  • Stir in the beef-style broth and red wine. Bring to a boil then allow the mixture to continue boiling for about 20 minutes, until the volume is reduced by half.
  • Remove from heat then whisk in the cornstarch and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste then allow the gravy to stand for 5 minutes, until thickened.

To Serve:

  • Spoon equal portions of mashed potatoes onto each serving plate. Layer sausages over the mashed potatoes. Ladle the gravy over the sausages and potatoes. Garnish with a sprinkling of scallions. Serve hot.
