Rakott krumpli is a popular Hungarian potato casserole.

Ingredients

• 6 medium potatoes
• 4 hard boiled eggs
• Salt
• 1 kolbász (Hungarian sausage) or 1 cup diced ham (optional)
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 350 grams sour cream around 40% fat (called tejföl or smetana)

Procedure

1. Cook the potatoes for about 15–20 minutes.
2. Peel the potatoes and the eggs.
3. Slice the potatoes, eggs, and sausage.
4. Put a little olive oil in a baking dish. Arrange alternating layers of potatoes, eggs, and salt or sausage in the dish.
5. Drizzle olive oil over the filling, and top with sour cream.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 35 minutes.

Notes, tips, and variations

• Traditionally most Hungarian cooking used lard (preferably home-made) but olive oil works just as well as a substitution.
