2. While the sausages are cooking, prepare the mashed potatoes. In a large pot, bring water to a boil, then add the chopped Yukon Gold potatoes. Boil until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste.
4. If using gravy, heat it according to package instructions. If making homemade gravy, prepare according to your favorite recipe while the sausages and potatoes finish cooking.
5. To serve, spoon a generous portion of mashed potatoes onto each plate. Place two sausages on top and drizzle gravy over the sausages (if using).
6. Garnish with chopped green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
