Ingredients
- 1 ring (13 ounces) smoked sausage, or kielbasa, sliced into ¼-inch pieces
- 3 pounds russet potatoes, rinsed, peeled, and thinly sliced with a mandoline
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 3 cups whole milk, room temperature
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
- Parsley, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and set out a 15-inch oven-safe skillet.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and diced onion over low heat until the onion is softened (3-5 minutes). Then, add the flour, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Slowly drizzle in milk, whisking constantly. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes), whisking frequently.
- Stir in the cheese, and continue stirring until melted and smooth. Set aside.
- To the skillet, add the potatoes, fanning them out into a single layer. Stagger the slices of sausage in between the potato rounds.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the top of the potatoes and sausage.
- Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- After 60 minutes, remove the foil and broil for 4-5 minutes, watching carefully, to brown the top.
- Serve hot, garnished with parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
