A hearty and comforting Irish dish featuring layers of sausage, bacon, potatoes, and onions slow-cooked to tender perfection with a crispy top for texture contrast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large pork sausages (Irish-style or Cumberland preferred)
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into chunks
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 2 large onions, sliced into rings
  • 2 cups (16 fl oz) chicken or vegetable stock
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and slice potatoes into ½-inch rounds and slice onions into rings. Cut bacon into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bacon chunks until they start to crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. Brown sausages on all sides until golden, about 6-8 minutes total. Remove and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add butter to skillet. Add onion rings and a pinch of salt. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
  5. In a large oven-safe casserole dish or Dutch oven, layer potatoes, then onions, half the bacon and sausages. Repeat layering, finishing with potatoes on top.
  6. Sprinkle dried thyme, salt, and pepper evenly over the layers. Pour chicken stock gently over the dish until liquid reaches about halfway up the potatoes.
  7. Cover casserole with lid or foil and bake for 1 hour.
  8. Remove lid or foil and increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes to crisp the sausage, bacon, and top potatoes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  9. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Notes

For extra crispy edges, finish under broiler for 2-3 minutes watching carefully to prevent burning. Use sausages with natural casings for best texture. Turkey sausage can be used for a leaner option. Substitute butter with olive oil or vegan margarine for dairy-free. Use gluten-free sausages and check stock for gluten to keep recipe gluten-free.
