It’s really not even that cold out tonight. Around 40 which is a heatwave compared to recent weeks but I had picked up a few items that needed to be used. Really, there were quite a few things that had to be cooked in the fridge and I am tired and bored with food right now but...this was delicious and easy.
On hand was a nice leftover 4 ounce block of white cheddar, a smoked beef sausage from Hillshire and a pound of baby fingerling potatoes that were starting to sprout so time was of the essence!
First I roasted the little spuds with salt, pepper and a glug of olive oil. I did this in our our new little Breville toaster oven. After about 25 minutes they were soft and ready to be smashed then added to a greased casserole. Just a little guy big enough for the two of us plus a bit for lunch tomorrow.
Next I sliced the sausage and gave it a quick sauté in the skillet to add a bit of color. No oil necessary for this, I place these slices on top of the spuds. Grated white sharp Cheddar topped the dish with about a half cup of cream then back into the little toaster oven for 20 minutes again. The top bubbly and browned, just what we needed for a quick bite on a winter night. The cream had thickened and mingled with the cheese. The tender potatoes against the smoky sausage...yum.
