Ingredients
To create this heartwarming dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Kielbasa sausage | 1 lb, sliced |
| Russet potatoes | 4 cups, peeled and diced |
| Onion | 1 large, chopped |
| Cheddar cheese | 2 cups, shredded |
| Heavy cream | 1 cup |
| Butter | 2 tablespoons |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Parsley | 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) |
If you’re looking to make substitutions, feel free to swap cheddar for any cheese you love, like gouda or mozzarella. For a lighter version, you can use milk instead of heavy cream, though it may alter the creaminess slightly.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
- Add the sliced kielbasa to the skillet and cook until slightly browned.

- Pour heavy cream over the mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
