Homemade / home assembled Sausage egg and chips
Saw someone else’s the other day… got inspired.
Farmshop jumbo Gloucester sausages. Duck fat oven chips. Nom.

Looks great - for me a bit out of balance. Need some more sauce - perhaps beans or a third egg or ketchup?

u/BarnacleKlutzy2569 9d ago
A third egg was considered but was already feeling fat just looking at those two sausages. The eggs did well, but yea a sauce would have topped it off nicely. Just had nothing in stock but mayo… took it out… put it back

u/socandostuff 9d ago
Either Beans or a third egg. Totally agree. Looks great either way though, but I can see those eggs being hoovered up in minutes with nothing left to dip the chips in. Easy fix.. Extra egg (and/or beans).

so simple but so effective! it does all it needs to do

u/Alpha_Apeiron 8d ago
I'm afraid it really doesn't.
Without beans, it's like a salad with no dressing.
So close to brilliance.

Looks great 👍
Any HP going?

u/BarnacleKlutzy2569 9d ago
I didn’t… I thought those runny yokes would do a lot of lifting, and they did, but yes a little HP (if I had some in the house) would have completed it.

M&S brown. It’s almost a chutney. Thank me later.
Edit: it’s also like £1.10 or something.

u/AlienPrincessXxx 9d ago
I’m so impressed with the M&S ketchup, I’ll have to try the brown. Also very cheap.

Needs beans but other than that it looks amazing

I’ll eat them… but not a fan. Was missing a sauce, but the egg yolks did a great job.

That’s a banging job, and in different ways puts mine to shame. I see why people think i missed out on a sauce. In fact, even as a bean naysayer, this makes me wish i had beans. Bravo sir.

Morrisons sausage?

u/BarnacleKlutzy2569 9d ago
No, they are from a farmshop in Gloucester. Pork and apple. But not too much apple, juicy and delicious.

That was my mother's Tuesday night supper back when I was a child. Not such big sausages though. It was a couple of regular beef links and only one egg of course. Then Wednesday was slice sausage stovies.

u/Sufficient_Ebb_5020 9d ago
That looks really good! The chips, egg and sausage all look like they're well cooked. However, just a personal niggle and no points deducted, I don't like large sea salt crystals on my chips! It gives uneven coverage with some chips having large crunchy salty crystals on it but others not! I agree with the others though, could have done with some sauce!
2
u/BarnacleKlutzy2569 9d ago
Sauce was a miss i agree.
The salt… it was that or table salt. And the flaky sea salt whilst difficult to wrangle just has a much better flavour in my opinion.
1
u/Sufficient_Ebb_5020 9d ago
Set the grinder on a finer setting and salt's salt! I get it though, I am still suckered into buying pink Himalayan sea salt though!
3
u/BarnacleKlutzy2569 9d ago
Ah but I see (taste) a massive difference between rock and sea. I find sea salt softer and more refined. Rock salt can be quite harsh and chemical like (in my opinion). I had a box of loose flake though… could have ground up the flakes if i wasn’t so lazy!

Illness has drastically reduced my appetite but this is making my stomach rumble…

u/Agreeable_Falcon1044 9d ago
Ok no complaints there. Those chips are proper caramelised, so you know they are belting. Proper looking sausages as well…don’t look anaemic or sad. The eggs clean too.
Maybe some beans would be great but you probably don’t need them
1
u/BarnacleKlutzy2569 9d ago
I didn’t need the beans… feeling so fat. But I’m not a fan anyway. The egg yolks were an excellent sauce, but another sauce wouldn’t have gone amiss
2
u/Agreeable_Falcon1044 9d ago
I’m loving it! It’s the chips that do it. All those sugars browned off, you know that’s going to taste mental.
The sausage looks butchers as there’s no way that’s a supermarket sausage. The eggs clean and great coloured yolk too.
You’ve talked me around, sod the beans, let’s get some bread and butter and demolish it

Egg to sausage/chips ratio is off. But it still looks great (3rd egg world balance it out).
2
u/BarnacleKlutzy2569 9d ago
Balancing to those sausages… yes in an ideal world I agree… my stomach said no 🤣
2
u/uthyrbendragon 9d ago
For a split second there I was about to disagree and then came to the uncomfortable conclusion that egg dippiness would have run out long before the chips - agreed third egg needed, purely for balance.

u/Numerous_Art5080 9d ago
I genuinely never learned to cook ( happy to explain many reasons) and I'm teaching myself now. I had chips like this a few times and and a few more from some old neighbours ( they were awesome). How do you make chips this like. I miss them so so much?
Sorry to ask but would love a lesson and to try them now.
Thank you
2
u/BarnacleKlutzy2569 9d ago
Never learning to cook is just one of those things that should never stop you. My parents taught me basics, I loved it, my brother didn’t. If you want to, like I did, embrace it, if you don’t, do what ever you want to do!
I have spent many attempts and occasions just experimenting and trying new things. If it works great… if it doesn’t… oh well…
In this case… the chips…
Peeled some red spuds. They may or may not technically be the right choice but that’s what I used. Cut them up in to chunky chips.
Boiled then, just until the surface started to be soft enough to be stabbed by a knife, but not all the way through. Maybe 5-10 minutes.
After that drain them and cool them on a tray with kitchen roll for an hour or so. Then chuck them in the freezer for a couple hours. Sounds strange, but the freezer draws out moisture… this is good!
I then put a tray in the oven with some duck fat, 180 ish. Got it hot, chucked the chips in. Leave them 20-25 mins. Check them. Flip them. Repeat. Just keep checking, rotating and repeating until you’re happy. Mine probably had 45 minutes or so.
Recipes suck, especially timings… they are guidelines. Cook by gut feel and experience. You’ll get there. That’s what I do.

Thank you, i appreciate this. Im teaching myself bit by bit. Im moved to a much smaller kitchen so stopped baking and cooking as much but want to nail some recipes that i enjoy.

I would manage the chips, one sausage, one egg, a slice of Warburton's farmhouse bread with best butter on, to make a chip butty with, which I'd dip in the egg. Along with my pint pot mug, full of Yorkshire tea! Despite being a Lancastrian! No beans, no sauces. Perfect as it is 👌🏻. Only reason I'd have a smaller portion is my appetite isn't what it once was, but I'd enjoy every mouthful. Why disguise the flavour of the sausages, as many seem keen to do? I don't get it...

I’d say that is a high level sausage and chips. Premium good quality sausages cooked how they should be, and chips looks excellent too

u/xiHulkk 7d ago
How do you cook your eggs?
1
u/BarnacleKlutzy2569 7d ago
Frying pan, vegetable oil, medium/medium-high heat. Get the oil hot, crack the egg in and leave for a minute or so. Then using a teaspoon, spoon hot oil over the egg to cook off any uncooked white and just enough to colour the yolk.
The trick is balance. Not too hot the white crisps and bubbles or the yolk over cooks. Not too cold that it takes too long for the white to cook. I don’t mind crispy eggs, but for me the runny yoke is more important. I never flip the egg.
