SCALLOPED POTATOES and POLISH SAUSAGE

INGREDIENTS

• 4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
• 1 medium onion, peeled and sliced thin
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 lb Polish Sausage or Keilbassa
• Cheese Sauce
• 2 T butter or margerine
• 2 T flour
• 1 C milk
• 2 T white wine
• 1 C shredded sharp cheddar or American cheese
• dash of salt and pepper

1. In measuring cup microwave butter or margerine 45- 50 seconds, until melted. Stir in flour until smooth. Stir in milk and wine. Continue stiring until well blended. Microwave 4-6 minutes, stiring every 2 minutes until thick.
2. Once sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, blend in cheese, salt, and pepper. Microwave 1-2 minutes, until cheese melts. Set aside.
3. In 3-quart casserole dish, layer 1/4 of the potatoes and onion slices, sprinkle on salt and pepper, and pour 1/4 of cheese sauce on top. Continue layering until all ingredients are used, ending with cheese sauce.
4. Elevate flat bottomed dish on inverted saucer and place on turntable if available (if not, rotate dish 1/4 turn every five minutes). Microwave 5 minutes. Reduce to medium (50%) power and microwave 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are almost fork-tender.
5. Cut sausages into chunks or, if they are in links, pierce them to keep from exploding, and arrange on top of potatoes. Microwave 4-7 minutes until sausages are done, rotating dish 1/2 turn every 3 minutes.
6. Let stand, covered with wax paper, for 5 minutes.

Serve with green beans or okra
