How to Make Sausage and Potato Casserole Step by Step
Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Boil the Potatoes: Place 3 pounds of sliced Yukon Gold potatoes in a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Cook, uncovered 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are just fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and place them in the prepared baking dish. Add the Butter: Pour ¼ cup of melted unsalted butter over the potatoes. Cook the Sausage: While the potatoes cook, crumble 1 pound of pork sausage in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add 1 chopped yellow onion and cook until the onion is translucent and the sausage is cooked through. Transfer the sausage/onion mixture to a paper towel-lined plate and dab the top of the mixture with another paper towel. Toss the Sausage and Potatoes: Spread the sausage/onion mixture over the potatoes and gently toss the mixture together. Bake the Casserole: Top with 2 cups of freshly shredded cheese and bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 7-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve.
