Baked potatoes with sausage and cheese

Appetizers - Baked potatoes with sausage and cheese by Steliana B. - Recipia

Baked potatoes with sausage and cheese are layered with yogurt and egg between the slices. The cheese and sausage stay among the layers, while the potatoes turn soft, with a browned top and the layers held together by the yogurt and egg. I choose new potatoes of a similar size so the slices don’t vary too much in thickness. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 40-50 minutes. Total time: 60-70 minutes. Serves: 4. About 600 kcal and 16 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg new potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Vegeta
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 g full-fat yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 250 g salted cow’s milk cheese
  • 2 thin sausages
  • 10 g butter
  • 125 ml water

Preparation

1. Peel the potatoes, slice them into rounds, rinse and drain well. Toss them with 1 teaspoon of Vegeta. 2. Beat the eggs with the yogurt, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper until smooth. 3. Grate the cheese, then slice the sausages. 4. Grease the baking dish with 10 g of butter. Add a layer of potatoes, 2-3 tablespoons of the egg and yogurt mixture, sausage slices and grated cheese. Repeat the layers until you’ve used all the potatoes, sausage and cheese. 5. Pour 125 ml of water into the dish and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 40-50 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the top is browned.

Notes

With a cabbage salad on the side, it’s like a heartier potato gratin, with sausage slices between the layers. Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat portions in the oven. Small new potatoes soften faster than large ones, and thick slices may need the longer end of the baking time. Taste the cheese before salting the yogurt and egg; if it’s very salty, reduce the salt. You can replace the cheese with 250 g of cașcaval, adjusting the salt again; this contains dairy and eggs.

Frequently asked questions

Why are the potatoes still hard?

Thick slices take longer to bake. Cut them about 4 mm thick so they soften within the baking time.

Can I use Greek yogurt?

Yes, choose one with 10% fat; full-fat yogurt keeps the mixture creamy.

What kind of sausages work well?

You can use thin smoked sausages; slice them about 5 mm thick.

Can I replace some of the potatoes with sweet potato?

Yes, you can replace 200 g of the potatoes with 5 mm sweet potato rounds, which soften faster.
