As I was looking for a main dish for my St. Patrick’s Day meal I found Coddle. I read several recipes but I liked bits and pieces from several so I decided rather than follow a recipe I put together my own. This was my favorite dish this year! I read that traditionally Coddle is simmered on the stove in a dutch oven, but I liked the idea of browning the sausage in the oven so I went with baking it.
Ingredients:
1/2 pound thick-sliced bacon
1 pound pork sausage links
1 large onion, sliced
4 large potatoes peeled and sliced, (2 pounds)
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
2 cups Apple Cider
Preparation:
In a large skillet fry the bacon (cut in 2 inch pieces) until crisp, then drain on a paper towel lined plate. Next poke holes in the sausage with a fork and fry it in the bacon drippings until it is browned. Remove sausage, drain on paper towels, cool slightly and slice. Then fry the onion slices in the bacon drippings until they are caramelized and sweet.
In a 13×9 inch pan layer potatoes (sprinkled with salt and pepper), onions, parsley, bacon and sausage. In the microwave heat the apple cider to boiling, pour it over the potatoes and bake covered at 350 for one hour removing the cover the last 15 minutes.
Yum! I will definitely be making this again soon!

That does sound good!
That sounds really yummy I have never heard of coddle!
I never heard of coddle either. Apple cider with potatoes sounds very strange, but it’s no doubt good. I usually like anything with bacon.
A different twist on Irish Coddle — love it! Sounds delicious!
That sounds really good! Mmmmm
You’re making me hungry!!!!!!
My mouth is watering!! Thank you sooo much for sharing!! <333
Never heard of this dish before, but I want to try. May even try to make it.
I have cooked coddle for years for my husband who thinks it is fab. my parents are both Irish and the way i cook it is the stewing version passed down from my mother, i add a white soup mix and a tomato if there are some in the fidge. I dont really eat it as i do not favour soggy dinners… having said that, looking at the browned meat or broiled version, i am definately going to try it. im sure my husband will love it too. thanks you for sharing the recipe

Just printed this off to cook this week. Will let you know how it goes. Looks great.
[...] I made the effort to have our green meal. Today, if I woke up in time, I’m planning to take Irish Coddle to our church potluck. We’ll see. Happy St. Patrick’s Day [...]
