Ingredients
- Smoked sausage: 450 grams (about 1 pound), sliced
- Potatoes: 900 grams (about 2 pounds), diced into 1-inch cubes
- Cheddar cheese: 250 grams (about 2 cups), shredded
- Onion: 1 medium, diced
- Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Salt: to taste
- Pepper: to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional): for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes if desired, then dice them into 1-inch cubes.
- Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces and dice the onion and mince the garlic.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add the sausage and onion, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine diced potatoes with remaining olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and toss until well-coated.
- In a large baking dish, mix the sautéed sausage and onion with the seasoned potatoes.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the baking dish and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Return the dish to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to melt the cheese until bubbly and golden.
Notes
- Choose starchy potatoes like russets for a fluffy texture.
- Season potatoes generously with salt and pepper, and consider adding spices for extra flavor.
- Experiment with different cheeses for a unique twist.
- Watch the cooking time to ensure potatoes are tender but not mushy.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set.
