1 cup sour cream
1 small onion, diced (optional)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Slice the kielbasa into rounds and brown them in a skillet over medium heat to enhance flavor.
3. In a large bowl, combine diced potatoes, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter, half of the shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and diced onion if using. Mix well.
4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
5. Arrange the browned kielbasa slices on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
7. Remove foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
Notes
For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes at the end—just watch closely!
You can prep this casserole a day in advance and refrigerate—just add 10 minutes to the baking time.
Swap sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a tangy, protein-packed twist.
