    Peel and boil the potatoes until they are soft. Slice and place in a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

    Expert Tips

    • The sausage is the star of this dish, so make sure to use a high-quality sausage that is flavorful and not too greasy.
    • Browning the sausage before adding it to the casserole will add extra flavor and help prevent the casserole from becoming too greasy.
    • Using a good quality broth (homemade or store-bought) will add extra flavor to the casserole.

    Variations

    • Add other vegetables: You can add other vegetables to the casserole, such as broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, or carrots.
    • Use different types of cheese: Try using a different type of cheese, such as mozzarella or Parmesan, or a cheese blend.
    • Top it off: Add a crunchy or crispy topping to the casserole, such as crushed crackers or bread crumbs, before baking.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Let the casserole cool and then cover it in foil. It will keep well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat the casserole in the oven at 350 degrees F, with the top covered with foil. It will take around 30 to 40 minutes to get it heated through.

    Freezing: Wrap the cooled casserole in its dish with foil wrap and then place into the freezer for 2-3 months. Alternatively, you can freeze portions in freezer safe containers. You can reheat the casserole from frozen at 350 degrees F for 90 minutes, or thaw in the fridge before reheating.

    Recipe FAQ's

    I like to serve it with a side salad, however steamed broccoli, green beans, peas or corn are also great sides.

    Can I make this casserole head of time?
