Preparation

• Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
• Place potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and boil until just tender. You want them a little undercooked because they will cook more in the oven. Drain well. Place in prepared baking dish.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and sausage and cook until sausage is browned. Remove sausage from skillet and place in the prepared baking dish with potatoes.
• Wipe skillet clean and add butter. Melt over medium heat. Add flour and cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Gradually whisk in half-and-half. Bring to a simmer. Add garlic powder.
• Turn heat to low and add velveeta. Stir until melted.
• Add half the cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour cheese sauce over potatoes and sausage. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
• Bake in 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
