New potatoes with kaizer baked in the oven are prepared in two stages: first, they are partially boiled, then finished cooking in a tray with sour cream, milk, and egg sauce. The short boiling softens them enough to go into the oven quickly without falling apart. The kaizer adds flavor and a pleasant texture, but the recipe can also be made without it, in which case the potatoes can be served as a side dish. Quick Info Preparation time: not specified exactly; includes cleaning, washing, and preparing the ingredients. Cooking time: 15 minutes for the initial boiling, then baking at 180 degrees until the dish is nicely browned. The baking duration is not specified in the original recipe. Total time: depends on the time needed to clean the potatoes and how long it takes to brown in the oven. Servings: number not specified; the quantity is suitable for a family tray. Difficulty: easy. Recipe type: baked potatoes, main course or side dish. Ingredients 1 kg new potatoes 500 g kaizer 4 tablespoons sour cream 1 egg 2 tablespoons milk 4-5 cloves of garlic or garlic powder A few sprigs of dill Salt Pepper 2 tablespoons butter, for greasing the tray Preparation method 1. Put a pot of water to boil and add a little salt. The water should be enough to cover the potatoes. 2. Clean the new potatoes, wash them well, and put them in the pot after the water starts to boil. Cover the pot and let the potatoes boil for 15 minutes. 3. After 15 minutes, remove the potatoes into a strainer and let them drain well. It is important that not much water remains on them, as this can thin the mixture poured into the tray. 4. Grease the baking tray with the 2 tablespoons of butter. 5. Cut the well-drained potatoes into cubes and arrange them in the greased tray. 6. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then add the slices of kaizer. 7. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream, milk, and egg. Add the garlic, chopped dill, a little salt, and pepper. Mix the composition well. 8. Pour the mixture over the potatoes in the tray, ensuring it reaches as evenly as possible among them. 9. Place the tray in the oven set at 180 degrees. Let the potatoes bake until the surface is nicely browned. Since the exact time is not mentioned, watch the appearance of the dish towards the end of baking. 10. Serve the potatoes warm. If you skip the kaizer, the same recipe can be prepared with just potatoes and served as a side dish. Why I make the recipe often It is a practical dish when I want baked potatoes but don't want to leave them raw for too long until they soften. The 15-minute boiling shortens the baking stage and makes them easy to cut into cubes. The sauce with sour cream, milk, egg, and garlic binds the ingredients, and the kaizer makes the dish substantial enough to be served as a main course. I also like that the recipe can be adapted without changing the method of preparation. With kaizer, it is more filling, and without it, it can be served alongside other dishes as a side. Tips Let the potatoes drain as well as possible after boiling. If they are very wet, the sour cream, milk, and egg mixture will mix with the remaining water in the tray. Do not boil the potatoes longer than indicated. They should be able to be cut and placed in the tray without falling apart. Add salt carefully, especially when using kaizer, as it can already be salty. In the sour cream mixture, add only a little salt and adjust the taste with pepper. The dill should be chopped before being added to the mixture so that the flavor distributes more evenly. Baking is finished when the top layer is nicely browned. The recipe does not provide a fixed time for the oven, so the appearance of the dish is the main guideline. Substitutions The kaizer can be completely omitted. In this case, the potatoes remain with the sour cream, milk, egg, garlic, and dill sauce. Fresh garlic can be replaced with garlic powder, as mentioned in the ingredient list. For butter, use the 2 tablespoons specified in the recipe to grease the tray before adding the potatoes. There is no need to put butter in the sour cream mixture. Variations The version with kaizer is the one described in the recipe: partially boiled potatoes are cut into cubes and then placed in the tray along with the slices of kaizer. For a meatless version, remove the kaizer and keep the rest of the ingredients and steps unchanged. The dish can be served as a side. The amount of garlic can be chosen between 4 and 5 cloves, depending on how pronounced you want the taste to be. If using garlic powder, add it gradually to the sour cream mixture. Serving ideas The potatoes with kaizer can be served warm, directly from the tray, as a main course. The version without kaizer is suitable as a side dish alongside dishes that pair well with baked potatoes. The dill added to the mixture is enough to give flavor to the dish, so there is no need to overload the recipe with other spices. Frequently asked questions Can I prepare the recipe without using kaizer? Yes. The kaizer can be omitted, and the potatoes are prepared in the same way, with the sour cream, milk, egg, garlic, and dill mixture. Without kaizer, the dish is especially suitable as a side. Why are the potatoes boiled before baking? The initial boiling of 15 minutes partially softens them and shortens the time needed in the oven. After boiling, the potatoes must be well drained and then cut into cubes. Is it necessary to peel the new potatoes? The recipe indicates using peeled potatoes, then washed. Follow this step before putting them in boiling water. How long do the potatoes bake at 180 degrees? The exact baking time is not specified. The tray is left in the oven at 180 degrees until the dish is nicely browned. Watch the surface and check the appearance of the potatoes towards the end. Can I use garlic powder? Yes. Garlic powder is mentioned in the ingredient list as an alternative to the 4-5 cloves of garlic. Nutritional values The values below are estimates and may vary depending on the type of kaizer, sour cream, and portion size. For guidance, the calculation assumes dividing the dish into 6 servings. A serving with kaizer may have approximately 450-550 kcal, 20-25 g of protein, 25-35 g of carbohydrates, and 28-38 g of fat. The potatoes mainly contribute carbohydrates, while the kaizer, egg, sour cream, and butter increase the intake of proteins and fats. The version without kaizer will have fewer calories, proteins, and fats, but the exact difference depends on the amount of sour cream and the portion served. Storage and reheating If there are leftover potatoes, let the dish cool and store it in the refrigerator in a closed container. Reheating can be done until the portion is well heated. The dish is more pleasant served warm, as the sauce holds better around the potatoes. For good results, do not leave the tray at room temperature longer than necessary after serving. The version with kaizer is stored and reheated in the same way as the one without meat.
