Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into ¼-inch slices
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted (½ stick)
  • 1 pound bulk hot pork sausage
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cups freshly shredded cheese -- cheddar, Gruyere, Swiss or a mixture
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Cook, uncovered 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are just fork tender. Drain the potatoes and place them in the prepared baking dish.
