Ingredients
- 3 cups russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound smoked kielbasa sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cup milk, 2%
- ½ cup heavy cream, 33%
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon 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.
