Potato and Sausage Casserole Instructions:
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Butter a baking dish and layer sliced potatoes evenly.
Add sausage slices and onion over the potatoes.
Melt butter in a pan, add garlic, then stir in flour.
Slowly add milk or cream to make a smooth sauce.
Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Pour the sauce evenly over the potato–sausage mixture.
Top with shredded cheese.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until potatoes are tender and the top is golden.

Recipe Notes :
Thinly slice potatoes for even cooking and a softer baked texture.

Add bell peppers or mushrooms for an easy vegetable boost.
Use cheddar for sharpness or mozzarella for a creamier melt.
Let the casserole rest 5 minutes before serving to set the layers.
