Potato Famine or German Comfort casserole

This is a thing of beauty for a cold night.

Peal and cut about 6 potatoes (1-2 per person)
Boil and mash with 
-2 tbs cream cheese
-1/2 cup of dairy of choice (sour cream, milk, cream)
-pinch of parsley (to pretend you are having your vegetables 

While the potatoes are doing their thing:

Sweat one onion diced and as much garlic as you like (I like a lot and used 4 cloves)

Cut up your Kielbasa.  I used a beautiful organic, no antibiotic, uncured partially cooked Kielbasa.  (Not this one, but this is close.)

Shred 2 cups of white cheddar.  (Orange cheese is so wrong)

Once the potatoes are mashed add the potatoes and the onions, garlic and kielbasa, and 1 1/2 cup of cheese in a casserole dish of your choice.  Mix well.  Put the last of the cheese on top.

Bake for 35-40 min at 375 or until bubbly and impossible to ignore.
This would be perfect with roasted cabbage.


Eat like a German!  Have a beer.  Feel food love.

Here's some nice German music (Yes, angsty goes with any food.)
