This Week's Meals: Hynka's Kielbasa Casserole

I don't know who Hynka was, but she makes a mean...well...it says this is a casserole, but it's really a hot potato salad. I don't like cold potato salad, and hot potato salad is just mashed potatoes to me, so this works really well.

Something that really changes the flavor is the rye-caraway breading. Every so often, you bite into a caraway seed and a little bit of that savoury-bitter taste comes through. Makes for a nice little surprise when you hit it.

Again, I would suggest slicing the sausage way thinner than 1 inch thick, and HIGHLY suggest seasoning this to taste cause it needs it.
