🍀 Bangers N' Smash Recipe - Chef Charles Parker 🍀

Feeling Lucky?! To celebrate this Irish Holiday, we’ve partnered with Chef Charles Parker up in Washington County, Virginia to showcase one tasty Irish-inspired recipe. Chef Parkers’ Bangers N’ Smash Recipe is a hit at the Harvest Table Restaurant and we can’t wait to tell you all about it. Check it out!

INSTRUCTIONS (for the bangers):

  • Bring beer and water to a rapid boil.

  • Place bangers in the boiling liquid, and let go for 15 minutes.

  • With tongs, remove the bangers and transfer to a HOT grill.

  • Grill bangers 3 minutes on each side, then remove from grill and let rest at least 3 minutes before cutting into. 

INSTRUCTIONS (for the “smash”):

  • Place diced potatoes and turnips in a pot with cold water (enough water to cover by an inch), then bring to a boil.

  • Boil until fork tender (approximately 15-20 minutes), then drain.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled potatoes and turnips, butter, milk, thyme, salt and pepper, then roughly “smash” everything together with a potato masher, leaving big chunks.

INGREDIENTS (for the bangers):

INGREDIENTS (for the “smash”):

  • 1lb red new potatoes; unpeeled/diced

  • 1/2lb white turnips; peeled/diced

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

  • salt and pepper (to taste)

PLATING:

  • This is up to you!  I like to put some “smash” down in the center of a plate, then top that with the grilled bangers and grilled onions.  I make a root beer BBQ sauce at the restaurant, that I serve this with, but you could do any BBQ sauce you like, or do a traditional onion gravy!  Goes great with sauteed green beans if another side dish is wanted!

🍀 Big thanks to Chef Charles and this incredible recipe to get us all set for a great St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Try this one out at home and let us know what you think.
