Crock Pot Potato Kielbasa Casserole Dinner Recipes

POTATO, KALE, AND KIELBASA CASSEROLE FOR TWO

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• In a dutch oven, combine the potatoes with enough water to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and boil the potatoes for 15 minutes, or until they are tender.
• Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a colander, reserving the cooking liquid, and force them through a ricer into a bowl. (or mash until smooth with no chunks).
• Add the butter, 1/4 cup of broth, the vinegar, and salt and pepper, to taste, and combine the mixture well.
• Bring the reserved cooking liquid to a boil. Coursely chop the kale leaves, add to water, and boil it for 10 minutes, or until it is crisp-tender.
• Drain the kale in the colander, refresh it under cold water, and press out the excess water.
• Stir the kale and 1/2 cup of the Swiss into the potato mixture and spread the mixture in a buttered casserole dish.
• In a large skillet brown the kielbasa over moderate heat and transfer it to a bowl with the slotted spoon.
• In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the onions over moderate heat, stirring, until they are golden. Stir them into the kielbasa.
• Scatter the kielbasa mixture on top of the potato mixture, sprinkle it with the remaining Swiss, and pour the remaining 1/4 cup broth on top.
• NOTE: The casserole may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Bake the casserole until heated through, about 20 minutes.
