   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
   • Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat.

2. Cooking the Sausages:

   • Add the pork sausages to the pan and gently fry for about 10 minutes, until they are almost cooked through and beautifully golden brown. 🌭
   • Remove the sausages from the pan and slice them into three pieces lengthwise on the diagonal.

3. Prepare the Onions:

   • In the same pan, melt half of the unsalted butter.
   • Add the onions and cook gently for about 10 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
   • Remove the onions from the pan and set them aside.

4. Cooking the Bacon:

   • Add the bacon slices to the pan and cook over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
   • Remove the bacon from the pan and drain them on paper towels.

5. Wilt the Cabbage:

   • In the same pan, add the savoy cabbage along with 2 tablespoons of water.
   • Quickly cook the cabbage for 2 to 3 minutes until it just begins to wilt.
   • Drain off any excess fat and set the cabbage aside.

6. Layering the Pie:

   • Grease a large gratin dish with 1 ounce of the remaining unsalted butter.
   • Begin by layering the sliced potatoes at the bottom of the dish.
   • Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves.
   • Top the potatoes with a layer of sliced sausages, followed by a layer of cooked onions.
   • Spoon over the wilted cabbage and crispy bacon.
   • Continue layering with another layer of potatoes, seasoning each layer as before.
   • Finish with a final layer of sausages, onions, and potatoes.
   • Season the top layer with salt, pepper, and thyme.

7. Creating the Creamy Sauce:

   • In a saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream, chicken or vegetable stock, and bay leaf until almost boiling. Don’t let it boil!
   • Pour the creamy mixture over the layered sausage and potato pie, just enough to cover the top layer of potatoes.

8. Baking the Pie:

   • Dot the top of the pie with the remaining unsalted butter.
   • Cover the gratin dish with foil and place it on a baking sheet.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
   • Remove the foil, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C), and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top turns beautifully golden and crispy. 🌟

9. Serve and Enjoy!

   • Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
   • Scoop generous portions onto plates, making sure to get all those delicious layers in each serving.
   • This Irish Sausage and Potato Pie pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread, a dollop of mustard, or a simple green salad.
   • Enjoy the warmth and comfort of this hearty dish with your loved ones! 🍴❤️

Notes:

• You can customize this recipe by adding your favorite herbs or spices to the layers for extra flavor.
