A hearty Irish sausage and potato stew featuring caramelized onions and slow-simmered sausages, perfect for cozy dinners and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Irish sausages (preferably mild or lightly seasoned pork sausages)
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced (about 1 lb)
  • 2 large yellow onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock (low-sodium)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • A handful fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 4 oz smoked bacon or smoky sausage slices

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8–10 minutes. Remove sausages and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining butter to the pot. Toss in sliced onions and cook slowly until soft and caramelized, about 8–10 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. Add minced garlic in the last 2 minutes, letting it soften but not brown.
  3. Layer the sliced potatoes evenly over the onions. Nestle browned sausages on top.
  4. Pour 3 cups of stock over the potatoes and sausages. Add bay leaves and season with salt and pepper. The liquid should just cover the ingredients; add a splash of water if needed.
  5. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 30–40 minutes until potatoes are tender and sausages are cooked through. Check occasionally and add more stock or water if needed.
  6. Remove bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.

Notes

Brown sausages slowly to lock in juices and flavor. Caramelize onions on medium-low heat to avoid bitterness. Avoid stirring too much after layering to keep textures intact. For thicker stew, lift lid in last 10 minutes to evaporate liquid. Slice thick sausages lengthwise before browning to speed cooking. Leftovers store well for up to 3 days and taste better after resting overnight. Reheat gently on stove with added stock or water; avoid microwaving.
