Cooking method

Preheat a frying pan with a little olive oil and add sausages. Cook thoroughly for 10 minutes turning occasionally until cooked. Or alternatively cook according to the packet instructions on your chosen sausages.

Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pan with just enough water to cover and season with salt. Bring to the boil, and then simmer for 10 minutes.

Peel and quarter 2 of the apples and add to the potatoes, simmer for 5 minutes or until both are tender. Drain, reserving 1pt of the cooking liquid and mash with the butter. Season to taste.

Heat the oil in a medium pan, add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes or until golden.

Quarter, core and grate the remaining apple add to the onions and sauté for a further 6-8 minutes or until tender and golden. Add the reserved cooking liquid and gravy mix and stir well until the gravy thickens. Serve the mash and gravy alongside the bangers.
