- 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
Instructions
- 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.
