1 pound pork sausage links
2 large onions -- sliced
4 large potatoes -- (2 pounds)

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Brown sausages (prick in several places with fork) in bacon fat; drain on paper
towels and slice into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel and slice potatoes about 1/4-inch
thick. In a casserole dish, alternate layers of bacon, sausage, onion, and
potato, seasoning the potatoes with salt and pepper. Sprinkle each layer with a
little parsley. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet. Add
water and bring to the boil. Pour over the potato casserole. Cover and bake at
350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove the cover and cook an additional 15 minutes,
until the top is browned and potatoes are tender.
