Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, shredded potatoes, egg, 1/4 cup of buttermilk, and granulated garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
2.Add 1 cup of flour, mixing well until combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add more buttermilk by the tablespoon until it comes together.
3.Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Scoop 1/4 cup portions of the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4.In a separate pan, cook the sliced peppers until tender and set aside.
5.In the same pan, cook the Cumberland sausages over medium heat until browned on all sides. Add the beer and beef stock to the pan, scraping any browned bits off the bottom to make a gravy. Simmer for 5-10 minutes or until the gravy has thickened.
6.Serve the Banger Boxty hot, topped with the cooked peppers, sausage, and gravy. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
