Ingredients
- 3–4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes

- 2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling (if desired) and cubing the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
2. Slice the Kielbasa: Cut the kielbasa into 1/2-inch thick slices.
3. Combine the Ingredients: In your crockpot, layer the cubed potatoes, sliced kielbasa, shredded cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, onion powder, and garlic powder. Gently mix the ingredients to ensure an even distribution.
4. Cook to Perfection: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cooking time is up, give the dish a gentle stir to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed throughout. Serve this hearty meal and enjoy.
Notes
Choosing the Right Potatoes: Russet potatoes are starchier and tend to break down more during cooking, resulting in a creamier texture. Yukon Golds hold their shape better and have a slightly buttery flavor.
Cooking Time and Temperature: Cooking on low is crucial for developing the best flavor and texture.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
