Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 800 g potatoes
- 2 sausages (preferably smoked sausages for an intense flavor)
- 2 boiled eggs
- 1 raw egg
- 100 g cheese (choose a mature cheese for a stronger taste)
- 100 g sour cream
- 2 tablespoons oil (sunflower or olive)
- 50 g breadcrumbs (for a crispy crust)

Instructions:

1. Boil the potatoes: Start by washing the potatoes well and boiling them in their skins in a large pot of salted water. This process will help retain flavors and nutrients. Boil the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes until they become soft. Test with a fork; if it goes in easily, they are ready. Then, let them cool slightly before peeling.

2. Prepare the sausages: While the potatoes are boiling, slice the sausages into approximately 1 cm thick slices. In a frying pan, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and brown them on both sides until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. This step will enhance the flavors, adding a delicious note to the dish.

3. Prepare the potatoes: Once the potatoes have cooled, peel them and slice them into appropriately thick slices. Make sure the slices are uniform to allow for even baking.

4. Assemble the dish: Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a baking dish, start by layering a layer of potato slices. Follow with a layer of browned sausages, then slices of boiled eggs and some grated cheese. Repeat this process until the ingredients are used up, making sure to finish with a layer of potatoes.

5. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the raw egg with the sour cream and a pinch of salt. Mix well to obtain a smooth sauce. Pour the sauce evenly over the last layer of potatoes.

6. Finalize the dish: Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and the remaining grated cheese on top to achieve a crispy and golden crust at the end.

7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the surface turns golden and crispy. The aroma that will fill the kitchen is irresistible!

8. Serve: Let the dish cool for a few minutes before slicing it into portions. This dish pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or pickles, adding a contrast of textures and flavors.

Practical tips:
- You can also add vegetables like onions or peppers to enrich the taste.
- If you want a spicier dish, add a few slices of chili pepper to the pan with the sausages.
- For a vegetarian option, replace the sausages with mushrooms or marinated tofu.

This layered potato recipe is not only filling but also versatile, allowing you to experiment with various ingredients. Enjoy every bite and cherish the time spent in the kitchen!
