Step 1List Item 1
Fill a large pot with water and ½ tsp of salt. Fill with just enough water to cover the potatoes and bring it to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until soft. When poked with a fork, the potato should mostly fall apart.

Step 2List Item 2
While the potatoes are cooking, grab another pan and heat some oil on medium heat. Brown the Polish sausages for a few minutes and set aside.

Step 3List Item 3
(Back to the potatoes) Remove from heat and drain most of the water, from the pot, leaving just a half-inch of water at the bottom of the pot.
Add milk, cheese, green onion, black beans, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Optional: Then gently mash the potatoes with the back of a fork until the potatoes start to break down. (I like my soup chunky, but if you like it smoother, you could use a potato masher or an immersion blender).
Then add in the cooked Polish sausage. Continue to cook on low heat for 5 minutes.

Step 4
