Baked sausages with new potatoes and cheese
One dish comfort food, try it in early summer when the Jersey Royals will be cheap enough to use like this. The potatoes and onions will cook in the sausage juices absorbing the flavours. The best bit is the sticky, caramelised onions at the bottom of the pan - so I like to use 2 or 3 onions. With so few ingredients it is important to use good quality sausages.
750 g new potatoes, ideally Jersey Royals, sliced the thickness of a finger
1 red onion, chopped roughly
1 or 2 sweet onions, chopped roughly
1 teaspoon of olive oil
100 g grated cheddar
Salt and black pepper
Method
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl
Make sure that the olive oil has coated the sausages, potatoes and onions
Lightly season with salt and black pepper (the sausages will add seasoning)
Spread over a high sided baking tray
Bake in a medium oven (190 degrees, gas mark 5) for 45 - 60 minutes, stir the dish once or twice
Cover with grated cheese and check seasoning
Once the cheese has melted serve with peas or a green salad
