A comforting one-skillet meal combining savory pork sausages with creamy, buttery mashed potatoes and sautéed cabbage, perfect for cozy nights and easy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 pork sausages (bangers), preferably Cumberland
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage (or savoy cabbage)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk or heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain well in a colander.
  2. While potatoes boil, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook sausages for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove sausages and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan.
  3. In the same skillet, add shredded cabbage and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until cabbage softens and caramelizes slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Return drained potatoes to pot or bowl. Add softened butter and milk or cream. Mash until creamy but still slightly rustic. Stir in sautéed cabbage and garlic mixture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Nestle cooked sausages back into the skillet with the creamy colcannon. Warm over low heat for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors and crisp edges slightly.
  6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot directly from the skillet.

Notes

If mash is dry, add a splash more milk to loosen. Don’t rush caramelizing the cabbage for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding sausages to ensure proper browning. Mashing by hand keeps rustic texture. Optional: add nutmeg or smoked paprika for warmth. For gluten-free, check sausage labels. Variations include vegetarian sausages or swapping cabbage for kale or collard greens.
