This recipe is an easy weeknight dish you can dress up to be something fancy. Dublin Coddle is a traditional Irish potato and sausage stew that typically slow cooks in the oven. But, it can be easily adapted to cook in a carbon steel skillet at home or over a fire. If there's one thing I love about many Irish staples, they typically are potato-forward (potatoes are great on everything) and were created to be very flexible. You can use what you have and make most things work with it.
