Irish Bangers and Mash Recipe With Balsamic Onion Gravy

by 45 Comments

I have always been proud of my European heritage. My grandfather was born in Ireland and immigrated to American with his parents in 1905. We also have some English, Scottish, German and Polish in our family as well.

My grandmother loved to cook traditional dishes my grandfather had when he was a boy in Ireland, like the Irish Bangers and Mash Recipe.

This Irish Bangers and Mash Recipe With Balsamic Onion Gravy is a traditional dish of the British Isles. Your family will love this simple to make sausage and gravy over mashed potatoes! It is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any day of the year!

One of his favorite meals was Bangers and Mash. My mom learned to cook it and we would always have it on St. Patrick’s Day. It is still a favorite in our home. I have made it with a bit of tweaking of mom’s recipe.

I make a Irish Bangers and Mash Recipe With Balsamic Onion Gravy. It is just as fantastic as I remember, but even a bit better! And the perfect drink to finish off this meal for the adults is my Jameson Whiskey Sour Apple Fizz Cocktail.

This Irish Bangers and Mash Recipe is made for our family. I can have it ready in about 30-40 minutes and it is gone in minutes! When I have time, I will make the potatoes from scratch. When I don’t, I use the pre=packaged flakes from the grocery store.
