Preparation Steps
  1. Slice the Irish sausages and smoked bacon into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-inch thick.
  2. Chop the onions and peel the potatoes before cutting them into evenly sized chunks.
  3. If using, slice the carrots as well and gather all your ingredients.
  4. In a large pot, layer the sausages, bacon, onions, and potatoes.
  5. If adding carrots or other vegetables, include them now.
  6. Pour enough water or broth to cover the ingredients by at least an inch.
  7. Optionally add beer or white wine for richer flavor.
  8. Stir gently, being careful not to break the potatoes.
  9. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the pot, adjusting to taste.
  10. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  11. Once simmering, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about one hour.
  12. Check for tenderness of potatoes with a fork; they should hold their shape.
  13. Ladle into bowls and serve with soda or crusty brown bread.
