Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 cups, chopped Kale
- 6 ounces Kielbasa sausage
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 ounces Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (approximately 8x6 inches) with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.
Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Slice them thinly into 1/4-inch rounds and set aside.
Rinse and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces, removing any tough stems.
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch rounds.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Dice the yellow onion and sauté it in the skillet until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped kale to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it wilts slightly. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, black pepper, salt, and paprika.
Begin assembling the casserole: Layer half of the potato slices on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the sautéed kale mixture and half of the sliced kielbasa. Repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, kale, and kielbasa.
Pour the cream and cheese mixture evenly over the top of the casserole, ensuring it seeps into the layers.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this hearty, cozy meal!
