- 4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 pound beef sausages
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and slice the potatoes into uniform pieces. Slice the onions thinly and mince the garlic cloves to prepare for cooking.
- Brown Sausages: Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and cook the beef sausages until they are browned evenly on all sides. Once browned, remove the sausages from the pot and set them aside.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté them until they become soft and translucent, releasing their flavors into the pot.
- Layer Ingredients: Return the browned sausages to the pot and layer them evenly with the sliced potatoes over the onions and garlic.
- Add Broth and Water: Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of water to submerge the ingredients. This liquid base will gently cook and flavor the stew.
- Simmer: Cover the pot and allow the coddle to simmer on low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are fully melded.
Notes
- Use high-quality beef sausages for the best flavor.
- Feel free to substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a lighter taste.
- For extra richness, add a splash of cream after cooking.
- Serve with crusty bread or Irish soda bread to soak up the broth.
- This dish can be adapted to slow cooker; cook on low for 6-8 hours.
