Steps

  • Step 1

    When ready to cook, set the temperature to High (450F+) (260 C) and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Prick potatoes all over with a fork and place on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Place garlic on a piece of foil and drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Fold edges of foil up and over garlic and crimp to close creating a tight packet.

    Ingredients
    • 1 Pound russet potatoes

    • 1 Pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into thick strips

    • 8 Clove garlic, minced

    • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

    • As Needed salt and pepper

  • Step 3

    Place on baking sheet with potatoes and put on grill. Roast potatoes until tender (about 65 to 75 minutes).

  • Step 4

    Remove potatoes from grill and place in a large bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm

  • Step 5

    Keeping grill set to High, preheat a large cast iron skillet on grill with lid closed for 10 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Heat 1/2 Tbsp oil in skillet. Add sausages and close lid.

    Ingredients
    • 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil

    • 8 Whole pork sausage

  • Step 7

    Cook for 4 to 5 minutes each side and cook until sausage reaches an internal temperature of 150 (65 C) 1degrees F (about 4 to 5 more minutes).

  • Step 8

    Remove sausages onto a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

  • Step 9

    You will need 2 tbsp oil left in the skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook until golden brown (about 4 minutes). Add flour and mix through.

    Ingredients
    • 1 Large white onion, diced

    • 2 Clove garlic, minced

    • 3 Tablespoon flour

  • Step 10

    Add 3/4 cup (200 mL) of beef broth and 3/4 cup (200 mL) stout to mixture. Mix in the onion and add remaining beef broth. Mix until combined.

    Ingredients
    • 3/4 Cup beef broth

    • 3/4 Cup Irish Stout

  • Step 11

    Close lid and cook stirring every few minutes until the gravy thickens but is slightly thinner than you want - it will thicken as it cools.

  • Step 12

    Season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil to keep warm and set aside.

    Ingredients
    • As Needed salt and pepper

  • Step 13

    Halve potatoes lengthwise, then use a fork to scrape flesh into a saucepan. Squeeze garlic cloves from skins into pan. Smash mixture with a potato masher until mostly smooth with only a few lumps.

  • Step 14

    Combine half-and-half and butter in a large measuring cup and pour 1/2 cup into potato mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until incorporated and smooth. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of half-and-half mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
