# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large 9x13 inch dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
Put the diced potatoes in boiling water and cook for roughly 7 minutes until soft but not falling apart. Drain them well and spread in your baking dish.
03 -
Add olive oil to a pan and warm it over medium heat. Fry the kielbasa slices until they're golden and crispy (around 5 minutes). Layer them over the potatoes in the dish.
04 -
Use the same skillet to melt butter and stir in the flour until combined into a paste. Pour in the milk, cream, soup, and garlic, letting it thicken. Remove from heat, then stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
05 -
Drizzle the cheesy mixture evenly over the kielbasa and potatoes. Put the dish in the oven for 30 minutes or until bubbling and browned on top.
