3 cups idaho potatoes boiled peeled cut into cubes when cool, approx. 1 lb
2 cups milk
0.1 teaspoon paprika
0.3 teaspoon pepper
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 lb sausage smoked skinless (Eckrich is my favorite brand)
0.5 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
0.5 lb velveeta diced
Equipment
frying pan
sauce pan
oven
whisk
Directions
Cut skinless smoked sausage in half, lengthwise, and then chop into 1/2 inch "half moon" cuts. Cook in a frying pan for about 15 minutes, turning frequently to SLIGHTLY brown.2 Meanwhile, put cooked & diced potatoes in 2 quart casserole.
Add cooked meat and give it a gentle toss.3
Mix all remaining ingredients (except for shredded cheddar cheese & the paprika) in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, melted and smooth. (Use a whisk and stir constantly.).4
Pour white/cheese sauce over potatoes and meat.
Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top, and then sprinkle paprika evenly over the top.5
Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes (watch, until golden brown on top).6 NOTE: You can substitute: 1/2 lb. hot dogs, sliced into 1/2-inch slices OR 1/2 lb. ham diced into 1/2-inch dices OR 12 oz. can of Spam diced into 1/2-inch dices, instead of the smoked sausage.
