Dublin Coddle Recipe

The sausage and bacon supposed to be golden before cooking with the onions and potatoes? Also, my recipe does not require a lot of liquid. I know it's supposed to be more a stew of soup, but how long does it take to cook the potatoes and onions correctly? If you have any advice or if you want to share a recipe, this Yank would appreciate!

I'm going home right now to try the recipe Auntyeim, never tried with cider before she discovered a suspicious Fri night after a visit to the pub! I can just see swinging around the pan with a wooden spoon in one hand and a glass of cider in the other. OOPS!

Thus I do!

Put the sausages, bacon, potatoes and carrots in the pan with the onions and garlic.

Where are you. I hope this is not Dublin!
