Cheesy Sausage Potatoes and Cabbage

At Ajpal, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

When I think Irish food, I immediately think of comfort – while Ireland gets a bad rap for food, everytime I have been to Ireland I’ve only ever had amazingly delicious food that is bursting with comforting flavors and fresh, beautiful ingredients.

While Irish food is often simple and unfussy, it is delicious – and great for large, comforting dinners that the whole family can eat.

One of my favorite comfort dishes is creamy, buttery colcannon.

If you’ve never had colcannon (one of my favorite Irish dishes, hands down), you are missing out!

It is delicious, rich, and comforting- and so easy to make. I’m kicking this One Pot Cheesy Sausage Potatoes and Cabbage colcannon recipe one up a bit with some sausage (we used german sausage, but you can use bratwurst, polska kielbasa, whatever you’d like) and lots of cheese.

This meal is so comforting and delicious, it can turn any day around.

It’s easy to prepare and only takes one pot- so there’s no messy cleanup after. It’s perfect to make and enjoy all snuggled up on a cool night, and let you troubles fade away!
