Ingredients:

  • 4 cups diced potatoes (peeled and parboiled)
  • 1 pound sausage links, sliced into rounds
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the sausage slices to the skillet and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the parboiled potatoes, cooked sausage, and caramelized onions. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Spread half of the potato and sausage mixture evenly in the baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture over the potato and sausage layer.
  8. Add the remaining potato and sausage mixture on top of the cheese layer.
  9. Pour the heavy cream evenly over the casserole.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture on top.
  11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  13. Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
  14. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
