Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cup russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb smoked kielbasa sausage (cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 1/2 cup milk ( 2%)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (33%)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 can cheddar cheese soup (284 ml)
  • 2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium sized 2 Quart pot, boil potatoes in water until tender, about 7 minutes. Do not overcook these. They should be tender but not mushy. Drain potatoes then place them in the prepared baking dish.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, lightly brown sausage pieces with olive oil, about 5 minutes. Add browned sausages to the baking dish.
  • In the same frying pan, now with just the leftover oil, add flour and butter. Cook over medium-low heat until you no longer see the white of the flour.
  • Add in minced garlic, milk, heavy cream, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper and cheddar cheese soup. Stir together until simmering and sauce has thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in shredded cheese. Remove from heat.
  • Pour sauce into pan with potatoes and sausage. Toss well to mix until all potatoes and sausages are coated in sauce.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
