A hearty and comforting Irish stew featuring pork sausages, potatoes, and caramelized onions simmered slowly to meld flavors into a cozy, soul-soothing meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) pork sausages, preferably thick-cut Irish-style or bratwurst
  • 2 pounds (900g) potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch (1.3 cm) thick rounds (Yukon Gold or red potatoes recommended)
  • 2 large onions, sliced into thin rings
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups (480ml) chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium store-bought
  • 3–4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: A splash of Guinness or malt vinegar

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice potatoes into ½-inch (1.3 cm) rounds. Slice onions into thin rings and mince garlic cloves. (10 minutes)
  2. In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add a little oil and brown the sausages evenly on all sides until golden, about 8 minutes. Remove sausages and set aside.
  3. Add butter to the same pot, then toss in onions with a pinch of salt. Cook slowly for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until caramelized and soft. Add garlic in the last 2 minutes, stirring carefully to avoid burning.
  4. Return sausages to the pot. Add a layer of potato slices, sprinkle some thyme leaves, and season with salt and pepper. Repeat layering potatoes and seasoning until all are used, ending with a final layer of potatoes.
  5. Pour chicken stock gently over the layers, just enough to cover the potatoes halfway. Tuck bay leaves between layers. If using Guinness or malt vinegar, add a splash now.
  6. Bring liquid to a low simmer, cover pot, and cook on low heat for 45-50 minutes. Check once halfway through; if liquid is too low, add a bit more stock or water. Potatoes should be tender and sausages cooked through.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Remove bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. The stew should be thickened slightly from the potatoes’ starch, with a gravy-like texture.

Notes

Caramelize onions slowly for best sweetness. Use quality sausages for flavor and texture. Simmer gently to avoid breaking potatoes. Optional splash of Guinness or malt vinegar adds character. Can be adapted for vegetarian or gluten-free diets.
