Selecting and Preparing Potatoes
- Look for potatoes that are firm and fairly smooth. Avoid potatoes with sprouts, green or dark areas, or wrinkled skin.
- Although they can freeze well as part of a stew or other prepared dish, do not freeze uncooked potatoes.
- Scrub potatoes with a vegetable brush before preparing, then cut out any bad spots, sprouts and green areas.
- If cooking whole, poke a few holes in the skin-steam can make you potato ‘pop’.
- Always store cooked baked potatoes in the refrigerator. Don’t eat potatoes left on the counter overnight as they may be unsafe to eat.
- 2 tsp oil
- 1 Tbsp flour
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 2 large potatoes, thinly sliced
- ½ onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cabbage, shredded
- ¼ lb kielbasa, thinly sliced
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a saucepan, heat oil. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Blend in milk and continue to stir until sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat.
- Lightly grease a casserole dish. Place 1/3 of the potato slices on the bottom. Add ½ of the onion slices, then ½ of the cabbage and ½ of the sausage in layers over the potatoes. Top with a 1/3 of the sauce. Repeat another layer of each, ending with a layer of potatoes and the remaining sauce.
- Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
