Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound kielbasa, sliced Use pre-cooked or smoked for convenience.
4 cups potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced Slice evenly for consistent cooking.
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Feel free to experiment with different cheeses.
1 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh parsley, for garnish Optional for presentation.

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the sliced kielbasa until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, heavy cream, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

Assembly

In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom.
Top with half of the sautéed kielbasa, half of the onion and garlic mixture, and half of the cheddar cheese.
Repeat by adding the remaining potatoes, kielbasa, onions, and garlic. Pour the remaining cream mixture over the layers and finish with the rest of the cheddar cheese on top.

Baking

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm, straight from the oven paired with a green salad or crusty bread. If storing leftovers, let it cool completely before placing in an airtight container in the refrigerator where it can last for 3-4 days. Reheat when ready to serve.
