Main Dish Colcannon Cabbage Potatoes And Sausages

This is a dish that my scots/irish grandmother would prepare. easy on the budget, easy on the cook, stick to your ribs, family pleaser that uses only one very large skillet or dutch oven. It calls for whole all natural ingredients and is ridiculously off the politically correct eating charts! not for those on a low fat, low carb, low cal, low anything diet. true comfort food! I purchase the sausages from whole foods. if you don't want to go to that expense, or you don't have a whole foods market near you, substitute your favorite breakfast sausage. great st patrick's day fare!!!!

Steps

In large skillet or dutch oven , brown the sausages in the butter.
Remove sausages.
Add potatoes and onions to drippings in pan and stir to coat.
Add cabbage and parsley and mix well.
Place sausages on top of mixture.
Cover with tight fitting lid and simmer , stirring occasionally until potatoes and cabbage are soft.
Add ale as needed to keep colcannon moist.
As soon as the potatoes and cabbage are soft , remove the sausages , take a deep breath and add the heavy cream to the mixture until it resembles mashed potatoes.
Add salt and white pepper to taste.
Replace the sausages and serve.
