Ingredients
- 1 smoked sausage
- 3 cups diced (and peeled if you are an over achiever) Russet potatoes

- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 1 Salt & pepper
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 2 cup Cheddar cheese, sharp
- 2 cups Half & half
Instructions
- Boil the diced potatoes until soft not mushy.
- Saute the sausage in a large skillet with 1-2 tbsp of olive oil.
- In same pan saute your chopped onion until soft.
- spray a 9×13″ baking dish with cooking spray. Transfer the cooked potatoes, onion and sausage to the prepared casserole dish, stirring just enough to evenly distribute.
- In the skillet melt the butter and then whisk in the Wondra. Allow it to cook about a minute, whisking constantly. Slowly add in the half and half, 1/4-1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly until thickened.
- Stir in the cheese, paprika, and salt & pepper, stirring occasionally until completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Pour cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes and meat.
