Best Creamy Scalloped Potatoes Kielbasa My Way Recipes

CREAMY SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rub the bottom and sides of a 3-quart baking dish with garlic; reserve garlic. Brush pan generously with butter. Peel potatoes, then cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
• Transfer potatoes and garlic to a large pot with cream, milk, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 1 minute. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon one-third of potato mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle with one-third of cheese. Repeat layering twice more. Loosely cover dish with parchment-lined foil.
• Bake until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove foil; turn oven to broil. Broil until potatoes are bubbly and browned in places, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

SCALLOPED POTATOES AND KIELBASA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Slice the potatoes thinly, the thinner the potatoes the faster it will cook.
• Cut the Kielbasa into bite sized pieces.
• In a casserole dish create layers. Start with the potatoes, then slice the butter and spread slices out, sprinkle flour over and salt and power then spread some Kielbasa bites out. I usually make 3 or 4 layers, but it can depend on how big your casserole dish is.
• Pour milk into the dish, it will settle at the bottom.
• Cover dish with foil and put in the oven.
• Bake for 1 hr 30 minute or until the potatoes are fully cooked.

CREAMY SCALLOPED POTATOES & KIELBASA -MY WAY

Steps:

• 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!
