I learned this recipe from an Irish friend in London, it’s like a potato hot pot – pure comfort food… easy and simple food, also nice washed down with a glass of Guinness.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg Potatoes peeled
  • 5 big pork sausages
  • 8 rashers of thick cut bacon
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (big handful)
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 2 large onions cut into thick rounds (1cm thick)
  • 700ml ham stock / or chicken stock
  • 1 large oven proof pan or dish with a lid.

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop potatoes into quarters
  2. If the potatoes are very small you can just cut in half or leave whole
  3. NB -If they are too small they will not hold up in the oven for long!
  4. Brown the bacon and sausages, the sausages do not have to be completely cooked through
  5. But I like my bacon to be crispy so I do cook this all the way first
  6. Cut the bacon into chunks, and cut the sausages in half or into chunks also
  7. Take the oven proof dish and start to assemble all the ingredients in a couple of layers.
  8. Place a few slices of onion on the bottom, then a sprinkle of bacon pieces and sausage and half of the potatoes
  9. Give a good pinch of ground black pepper and chopped fresh parsley
  10. Finish layering the rest of the ingredients
  11. Pour the stock over the top, and cover the dish fairly tightly
  12. Now you can pop in the oven and go do something else for 2 and a half hours!
  13. Everything cooks together under a gently slow heat
  14. You can also make this simple yet incredibly tasty dish using a slow cooker / crock pot
