Method
Step 1
For the gravy, melt the butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the onions and sauté, stirring often, until caramelised, about 30 minutes. Add the flour and cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Add the Guinness, Dijon, Worcestershire, sugar, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 2
For the bangers, heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until evenly browned on both sides and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 3
Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks. Place in a saucepan with water to cover, salt the water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with a potato masher. Add the butter and milk and continue to mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
