Rakott krumpli (Hungarian layered potatoes)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Hungarian families' 'lasagne'. Although it seems simple, the layering of potatoes, eggs and sausage creates a symphony of flavours. The fat rendering from the sausage permeates the neutral potato and egg, and the sour cream binds it all into a creamy unity. The secret lies in good quality smoked sausage.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large pot for boiling potatoes
  • Baking tray or casserole dish
  • Egg slicer

Allergen Information

⚠️ Egg
⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water. Hard boil the eggs (10 mins).

Tip: Boiling in skins preserves potato flavour and starch content. Once cool, they are easier to peel and slice.
2 ✓

Peel the potatoes and eggs, and slice them into rounds. Slice the sausage too.

Tip: Try to cut slices of equal thickness for even layering.
3 ✓

Grease a baking tray with lard. Layer: potato on bottom, salt it, then egg, then sausage, drizzled with sour cream.

Tip: Scatter the sausage so its fat reaches everywhere.
4 ✓

Continue layering until ingredients run out. Top with potato, coat generously with sour cream and drizzle with remaining fat.

Tip: The top sour cream layer protects the potato from drying out and browns nicely.
5 ✓

Bake in an oven at 180°C for approx. 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Tip: It's done when the fat is bubbling at the sides.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the potatoes stay hard?
You sliced them too thick, or didn't cook them enough beforehand. In the oven, flavours mostly just meld; the potato needs to be almost ready.
It became too greasy.
The sausage was probably very fatty. Use less extra fat between layers in this case.
