Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender.
Meanwhile, brown the sausages in oil over medium heat, turning occasionally, until deep golden on all sides; set aside and keep the pan drippings.
Soften the sliced onions in the same pan over low heat until jammy and deeply caramelized.
💡 Low and slow is the whole gravy — rushed onions taste raw and thin.
Stir in the flour, cook 1 minute, then whisk in the stock; simmer until glossy and thickened.
Return the sausages to the gravy to finish warming through.
Drain the potatoes and mash with the butter and hot milk until smooth; season to taste.
Pile the mash onto plates, top with sausages, and ladle the onion gravy generously over both.
The nickname 'bangers' dates to wartime rationing, when sausages padded with water and rusk filler would split and pop in a hot pan. It has stayed a pub and home-kitchen fixture ever since, with the slow-cooked onion gravy doing most of the work.
