Instructions
Add sausages to a large skillet over medium heat, browning each side about 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. Transfer to a dish and cover to keep warm.
Add potatoes to a large pot of water. Bring water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and cook on a low boil for 15-20 minutes or until a fork easily slides into the potatoes. Drain potatoes and place back into the pot. Add milk and 4 tablespoons butter and mix with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir again.
In the same skillet you cooked the sausages in, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add slices of onions and minced garlic. Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic in skillet and cook on medium-high heat until onions are lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Gradually add beef broth, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, salt, pepper and cornstarch mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a low boil and continue to whisk until thickened, about 10 minutes.
To serve: Add mashed potatoes onto a plate, put a sausage link on top of the potatoes, and then pour on the beef gravy. Eat and enjoy!
