Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes
• 4 links sausages
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of olive oil.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 3

Chop the sausages into small bite-sized pieces. If using raw sausages, remove them from the casings before chopping.

Step 4

Dice the onion and finely mince the garlic.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and mostly cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 7

Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 8

Spread half of the cooked sausage and sautéed onion mixture evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, sausage mixture, and seasonings. Top with the remaining 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese.

Step 10

Drizzle the heavy cream evenly over the top of the dish.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 13

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving for added freshness and color.
