How To Make Creamy Scalloped Potatoes & Kielbasa -My Way

  • 1– In a medium skillet over medium – high heat, add oil – once hot, add the kielbasa & onions, stirring occasionally – you want the sausage to start caramelizing and the onion to soften. Set aside.
  • 2– Peel, wash and slice potatoes. Can do ahead, keep in cold water.

    You could par cook these now too, to cut down baking time, if using a harder potato- such as Russets. I usually will boil 10 – 15 minutes to soften some.
  • 3– Start sauce:

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat- melt butter and once melted add the flour…whisk to make a paste and continue cooking for at least a 1 minute to remove the flour taste. I usually stir for 1 1/2 min.
  • 4_ Add the broth slowly and whisk as adding, making sure there are no lumps. Now add the cream and milk – then seasonings. Stirring often until you have a thickened white sauce. Taste now, and see if needs more seasonings.
  • 5– In a 4 quart casserole. Ladle enough sauce to cover the bottom of the dish. Next, layer half the potatoes, then half the kielbasa and onion mixture. Next half the cheese.
  • 6– Repeat layer of sauce, potatoes, kielbasa and end with cheese. ( you will need to push potatoes some into the white sauce). When cooking the sauce will cover the potatoes. So don’t worry.
  • 7– Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Then, remove foil and continue baking for 40 minutes longer or until potatoes are fork tender.
  • 8– Serve along side of your favorite vegetable and maybe a nice slice of crusty bread.


    Enjoy!
