1

Cook the sausages slowly in a pan on the back burner until tender and browned all over.

2

Peel the Estima potatoes and cut them into small, consistent pieces for even cooking.

3

Place the cut potatoes into a pan of cold water with a tiny bit of salt.

4

Slice the medium-sized onion into thin slices.

5

Fry the sliced onions gently in a pan with a tiny bit of vegetable oil until they soften and caramelize, avoiding crispiness.

6

Add a little sugar to the onions to help them caramelize further.

7

Once the sausages are browned, place the potatoes on the front burner to cook.

8

Save the starchy water from the boiled potatoes for later use in the gravy.

9

Drain the potatoes and leave them open to steam for fluffiness, then add a good chunk of unsalted butter on top to melt.

10

In the pan with the sausage drippings, add about a tablespoon of plain flour and mix it in with the fat, adjusting the amount of flour based on the fat available.
