Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain and roast in the oven until crispy.

Steam or boil the brussels sprouts until tender, about 8-10 minutes.

Prepare the pigs in blankets by wrapping sausages in bacon and baking until crispy.

Make the gravy by deglazing the roasting pan with stock and thickening with flour.
