Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix mashed potatoes, seasoned salt, dried mustard, pepper, and chopped green onions.
- Cut the Polish sausages in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the meat to create a cavity.
- Stuff the potato mixture into the halved sausages, then top with grated cheese.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding minced garlic or herbs like dill to the potato mixture. If you prefer a lighter option, you can substitute the mashed potatoes with cauliflower mash. Use any type of cheese you have on hand, such as cheddar or mozzarella, for a different taste. Be sure to taste the filling and adjust seasoning to your liking.
Serving Suggestions
These stuffed Polish sausages make a great main dish and pair well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables. For a heartier meal, serve with roasted potatoes or a side of coleslaw. They’re perfect for game day, alongside other favorites like Graham Balls or as part of a festive spread.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover stuffed Polish sausage can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through and the cheese is melted again.
