I made this up myself when I lived in Texas. It just sounded good. Come to find out everybody there makes it this way.... must be something in the water! We love it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These scalloped potatoes with smoked sausage could be a main dish or a side dish. Super hearty, it's a comforting dish on a cold night. Potatoes are cooked in a thick, buttery sauce that becomes infused with the smoky flavor of the smoked sausage. We tried this with shredded cheese and without cheese. It was delicious both ways. Without the cheese, they were still very creamy.

How To Make scalloped potatoes with smoked sausage

Test Kitchen Tips

We added shredded cheddar cheese on top for the last 15 minutes of baking.

1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray an 8 x 13-inch casserole with nonstick spray.

2
Place a layer of sliced potatoes to cover the bottom of the casserole.
3
Then dot with about 1/2 of the smoked sausage and 1/3 of the butter. Sprinkle lightly but generously with flour, and salt and pepper. If you don't care about too much fat, you can add dots of sour cream and sprinkle with your choice of grated cheese but this is not necessary.
4
Add another layer, just like the first, and continue until potatoes and sausage are used up (usually 2 layers). Finish up with a sprinkling of flour, salt, and pepper.
5
Pour evaporated milk over to cover, moistening all of the flour on top. Add enough water or additional milk to ensure all of the potatoes are damp and most of them covered (not necessarily all, but most).
6
Bake uncovered for at least an hour. The top should be browned and all bubbly. Test a potato to see if it is tender. If it is too hard or stiff still bake a little longer until the potato is tender.
