Ingredients
- 4 links chicken sausage sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 cups diced potatoes peeled, Yukon gold or russet
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup yellow onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups milk any kind
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 5 oz. spinach
- 2 tablespoon breadcrumbs optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Add the oil and chicken sausage to a large, deep oven-safe skillet or dutch oven, and cook over medium until golden brown on both sides. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage and set it aside.
- Add the potatoes and salt to that same skillet and sauté over medium until they can just be pierced with a fork, approximately 8-10 minutes. You don't want them to be too soft or else they'll fall apart in the oven. You may need to add more oil so they don't stick to the skillet. Then, use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes and place them into the bowl with the chicken sausage.
- Place onion and garlic into the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is soft. Then, pour the milk into the skillet and sprinkle the cornstarch overtop. Whisk continuously until the cornstarch has dissolved, then bring the milk to a low simmer. Once the milk starts simmering, sprinkle the cheese in a little at a time, whisking until it melts. Do this until all the cheese is gone.
- Remove skillet from the heat and stir in the spinach until it wilts, about 1 minute. Add the sausage and potatoes back into the skillet and stir until everything is coated in cheese sauce. Sprinkle the casserole with breadcrumbs (optional) and place it in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until you can easily pierce the potatoes with a fork. Remove from the oven and drizzle with hot sauce (optional!) and enjoy!
