  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the smoked sausage and peel and cube the potatoes.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh sausage for smoked sausage, cooking thoroughly before adding to the dish.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
