1.5 kg potatoes8 large eggs400 g smoked sausage (e.g., Gyulai or Csabai)500 g sour cream (20% fat)100 ml milk (full-fat)30 g butter2 tsp salt1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Steps

Preparation

Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender, then peel and slice them. Hard-boil the eggs, peel, and slice them. Thinly slice the smoked sausage.

Layering

Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter. Arrange the first layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Follow with a layer of sliced sausage, then a layer of sliced hard-boiled eggs.

Continue & Sauce

Repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, sausage, and eggs. In a bowl, mix the sour cream with the milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the layered ingredients.

Baking

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the layered potato casserole for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Extra Tips

► Boil the potatoes in their skins; this helps them retain their flavor and texture better.

► For an even richer flavor, sprinkle some grated cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.

► Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving; it will be easier to slice.
