Ingredients
  

Scalloped Potato Base
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 pound chipolata sausages browned and sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Skillet
  • Aluminum Foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the chipolata sausages until cooked through. Slice into bite sized pieces and set aside.
  3. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the salt, pepper, minced garlic, and sausage pieces.
  4. Pour half of the heavy cream evenly over the layer. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, sausage, salt, pepper, garlic, and cream.
  5. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  6. Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle fresh chopped chives over the top just before bringing to the table.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace half of the heavy cream with whole milk. You can also substitute sliced kielbasa or browned ground sausage for the chipolata. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of milk to keep the potatoes creamy.
