3 Russett potatoes peeled, cut into cubes, boiled, and cooled. (I always get one extra potato in case you need it).
1 pound of skinless smoked sausage
4 tablespoons of butter + 1 tablespoon
4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
2 cups of milk
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cook the peeled and diced potatoes and add them to the greased baking dish.
Add one tablespoon of butter to a frying pan. Cut the sausage into small pieces and fry in a frying pan for about 20 minutes or so, or until the sausage is brown.
Next, add the cooked sausage to the baking dish.
Add the four tablespoons of butter to a medium-sized saucepan and melt on medium heat.
Sprinkle the flour into the pan and whisk. It will be lumpy.
Pour the milk into the saucepan and whisk until the lumps are gone. Then, add the salt, pepper, and shredded cheese and cook until the cheese melts.
Next, pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes and sausage and bake uncovered for about 35 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

For this recipe, I used skinless smoked sausage Eckrich brand, which I bought at Publix.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container and keep them refrigerated.
