what you need
- 2 pkg. polish sausage (kielbasa)
- 1 bag potatoes, for mashing
- Milk
- Butter
make it
Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut kielbasa into serving size pieces (approx. 3" long). Score the outside and peel off the casing, discard casing. Cut in half lengthwise
Boil and smash potatoes using a bit of milk and butter (potatoes should not be creamy). Place in a oven proof casserole dish (large enough to fit all your potato mixture and still leave about 2" from the top). Place kielbasa flat side down on top of mash potatoes and cover with foil.
Place in oven and cook for about 15 minutes. Check to see if potato is bubbling. If potato is bubbling, remove foil top and turn oven to broil. Once tops of kielbasa crisp up, remove from oven. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Taste great with a side of sweet corn.
Notes
This recipe actually originated from my uncle whose parents came to this country from Czechoslovakia in the 1940's. This was an inexpensive meal and could be stretched to feed a large family.
