No cheese? No problem! These easy potatoes have all the creaminess you've come to expect from scalloped potatoes without using a bit of cheese. (Oh, and the addition of smoked sausage is de-lish!)

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray an 8 x 13 inch casserole with vegetable spray. (I use the butter flavored.)
- 2. Place a layer of sliced potatoes to cover the bottom of the casserole. 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. Add another layer, just like the first, and continue until potatoes and sausage are used up (ususally 2 layers). Finish up with the sprinkling of flour and salt & pepper.*
- 3. 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).
- 4. *If you don't care about too much fat, you can add dots of sour cream and sprinkle with grated cheese of your choice as well. Oooo La La!
- 5. Bake uncovered for at least an hour. Top should be browned and all bubbly. Test potato to see if it is tender. If it is too hard or stiff still, bake a little longer until potato tests done. Try one especially underneath in the milk. Especially good with steamed brocolli florets. I steam them, stir in a tiny bit of butter, and lemon juice.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350
- 2. Brown sausage
- 3. Put half of potatoes in casserole dish, top with half of flour, half of salt, and half of onions
- 4. Add half of sausage, top with half of cheese
- 5. Repeat steps 3-4, pour milk over all
- 6. Bake at 350 for an hour or until potatoes are done
Tips:
- Slice potatoes thinly and evenly. Thicker slices will take longer to cook and may not get as tender.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes. A dull knife will crush the potatoes, making them more likely to break apart when you stir them.
- Layer the potatoes and sausage in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the potatoes will not cook evenly.
- Season the potatoes and sausage generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
- Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will melt and bubble beautifully.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Sausage scalloped potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a hearty and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
