**Microwave steam vegetables in 5 mm of water only. Food must not sit in water.
**Use the best Pork Bangers you can find as this dish is dependant on it.

Ingredients:
1.8kg potatoes, unpeeled weight 
344g onions, unpeeled (2 medium)
522g carrots, peeled (whole)
90ml (90g) chicken fat/oil mixture to fry onions until tender (Leftover from roast chicken lemon potatoes)
32g chicken fat (Leftover from roast chicken lemon potatoes) added to the mash
960g Pork Sausages (16 pork bangers) Add once onions are translucent
204 g frozen peas
50 ml gravy, powder
700ml (700g) water
1 bouillon cube (beef stock cube)

Method:

1. Slice onions.
2. Saute onions in remaining fats (about 90g) from previous nights Greek Roasted Lemon Chicken & Potatoes. Reserve balance of fat (about 32g fat).
3. Peel carrots and leave whole.
4. Steam carrots whole for 10 - 12 minutes in a microwave steamer, until just tender. 
5. Cool carrots, then slice, and you will find they slice like soft like butter, without jumping all over your kitchen.
6. Add frozen peas over the top of your carrots and steam a further 2 minutes in a microwave steamer. Set aside, covered.
7. Steam potatoes in a microwave steamer for 20 minutes until fork tender (I leave the skin on for extra nutrients). Add remainder 32g fat to hot potatoes (set aside from roast lemon chicken and potatoes or from roasting chicken thighs) and mash together with any excess fats scooped off the gravy. Do not add salt. Your gravy will do it.
8. When onions are nicely browned and tender, add the pork bangers onto the top of the onions and brown underside, gently flipping without breaking and browning the other side. Remove sausages to an oven rack placed above onions, keeping heat low from underneath, so as to not burn the gravy. When sausages are halfway done, place them on a rack above gravy and grill them until well browned and crisp on both sides. Remove sausages together with rack & set aside - I do this in my wok with the element head placed over it, positioned on its extender ring.
9. Prepare the gravy (following instructions on package). Stir gravy powder into a little cold water (about 60 ml) until smooth and dissolved. Add balance of water swishing out the cup with the rest of the water. Add all to your browned onion mixture together with beef stock or bouillon cube and stir continuously until thickened. Do not add salt, as there is enough. Reheat all. Serve and enjoy!

Nice easy peasy recipe bottom right of the page for perfect mash. Make sure you have removed all skin thoroughly before pressing through the sieve.
A "ricer" is the perfect gadget if you are a lover of mash. If you don't have one a sieve will do fine.

These were even far better than Renown's brand. Not too mad about Renown's brand.
