HungarianLayered Potatoes Casserole – Rakott krumpli

🍳 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Boil the potatoes:
    • Wash and boil whole, unpeeled potatoes in salted water until just tender (about 20–25 minutes).
    • Let them cool slightly, peel, and slice into ¼-inch (0.5 cm) thick rounds.
  3. Prepare the sour cream mixture:
    • In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream and 3 raw eggs.
    • Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  4. Assemble the casserole:
    • Grease a baking dish with butter.
    • Layer as follows:
      1. A layer of potato slices
      2. A layer of egg slices
      3. A layer of sausage slices
      4. A few spoonfuls of sour cream mixture
    • Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with potatoes on top.
    • Pour the remaining sour cream mixture over everything and drizzle melted butter on top.
  5. Bake uncovered for 30–40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.

🍽️ Serving suggestions:

Serve warm with pickles, a simple salad, or a bowl of Hungarian cucumber salad (Uborkasaláta).

This dish is pure nostalgia in Hungary — creamy, smoky, and so satisfying!


Would you like me to include a vegetarian variation of Rakott Krumpli (without sausage, with cheese and onions)?
