3. In a large bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, black pepper, and diced onion until smooth.
4. Add diced potatoes and browned kielbasa into the bowl. Stir until evenly coated.

Notes
For faster prep, you can use thawed frozen diced potatoes instead of fresh.
Try mixing cheddar with Monterey Jack or Colby cheese for a flavor blend.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months.
