Bangers and Mash with golden onions is a classic British dish that has been enjoyed for generations. The name "bangers" comes from the sounds the sausages make when they are cooked, due to their high water content. The dish originated in England during World War II, when meat was scarce and sausages were made with a high proportion of water to meat to stretch out the supply. Today, bangers are still a popular ingredient in British cuisine, and are often served alongside creamy mashed potatoes and caramelized onions for a hearty, satisfying meal.

Instructions

1.Peel and cube the potatoes and boil until tender. Drain and mash with milk, butter, salt and pepper to taste.
2.Heat olive oil in a pan and add sliced onions, cooking on medium heat until soft for 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle salt to help the onions caramelise.
3.Add garlic to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes, then add cream and stir well.
4.In a separate pan, cook sausages on medium heat for 10-15 minutes until browned and cooked through.
5.Serve the sausages with a generous spoonful of caramelized onions and mashed potatoes on the side, topped with Dijon or English mustard.
