Only on eG  could one consider French Catfish Pie Soup on New Year's Day.

A traybake as the Brits like to call them. Potatoes and kielbasa roasted on a quarter sheet pan.

Well, I'm British and have been for a very long time, but I never heard of a "traybake" until now.

 

But what do I know? Mr Google has several tray bakes, some identifiably British. But every definition I can see say it is a sweet dish.

Nothing bad about sour cream or creme fraiche with fried or roasted potatoes, but if you are serving a brisket with your latkes you most likely wouldn't do dairy with that, you would do applesauce. That's always been my own preference: home made applesauce with a squeeze of lemon and a dusting of cinnamon. If I'm serving potato pancakes with a vegetarian meal, I might serve both apple sauce and a dairy topping on the side. 

 

For New Years Day tomorrow I'm going French Hanukah by way of the Carolinas: Duck fat roasted potatoes with a side of apples sautéed in butter and a drizzle of Steen's cane syrup. And I will make some simple vegetable potage, just because I have some chard and misc vegetables rolling around the crisper and a quart of turkey stock in the freezer. So that would be French Catfish Pie Soup.

 

But then, I've always contended my latkes were "Methodist latkes" because I fry them in bacon fat...

 Oh ye of little faith.   There is a little more British than the BBC. Click

I don't recall hearing the term 'traybake' in this context when I lived in England - perhaps it tends to be regional? I was mostly nearish London. However, whatever you call it, that looks delicious and I am going to make a note to try it next time I find the good kielbasa in the store, as I am all in favor of limited mess meals for busy days. I think I'd probably start the potatoes first, then add the sausage assuming it is pre-cooked? Roast potatoes always seem to take forever for me.

I suspect the term is recent rather than regional. The equivalent North American term at least for the savoury version is sheet pan dinner/supper.

Could be. The Oxford English Dictionary doesn't list it.
