Preheat oven to 350 F. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and fry the bacon for 2 minutes. Add the onion and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes, until golden brown. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute. Remove everything from the pan and set aside.

Add the chicken sausage into the pan and brown on both sides for 5-6 minutes. This will not be cooked through at this point.

Grease a large deep baking dish and add the thinly sliced potatoes, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Layer the carrots on top followed by the onion mixture. Sprinkle the onion with sage, salt and pepper. Place the sausage on top and pour the chicken stock over the top of everything. Cover the dish and cook in the oven for 1 hour. Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Serve and enjoy with bonnach or soda bread and a salad. Also goes great with a Guinness or red wine!!!
