Potatoes with telemea cheese and smoked meat baked in the oven

To prepare a delicious potato-based dish, we will start by boiling the potatoes in their skins. This cooking method not only preserves the natural flavors of the tubers but also their texture, while avoiding the loss of nutrients. After the potatoes have boiled, we let them cool slightly, then peel them and cut them into small cubes. These will become the base of our recipe, bringing a delicious taste and a pleasant texture.

In the meantime, we take care of the egg mixture. Whisk the eggs with a whisk or fork until frothy. Add a teaspoon of thyme or oregano, depending on personal preferences; these herbs will provide an intense flavor and an unmistakable aroma to the dish. We also add grated cheese, which will contribute to the final creaminess of the dish. At this point, we cut the ham or bacon into thin strips and incorporate them into the egg mixture. These ingredients will add a savory note and an extra consistency.

Once all the ingredients are prepared, we combine the potato cubes with the egg and bacon mixture. Don’t forget to add a little freshly ground pepper to enhance the flavors. Mix everything carefully, ensuring that each potato cube is well coated with the egg and spice mixture.

We now prepare the baking tray by greasing it with a little oil to prevent sticking. We pour the mixture evenly into the tray, making sure it distributes well. To give an appetizing look and a golden crust, we generously sprinkle grated cheese on top. It will melt beautifully in the oven, forming a delicious crust.

We preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the tray in for about 20 minutes. It is important to monitor the dish’s progress, as it is ready when a golden crust forms on top. The aroma will fill the entire kitchen, and each bite will be an explosion of flavors. Once it is ready, let the dish cool slightly before slicing it. This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or to impress guests. Enjoy each portion alongside a fresh salad or a flavorful yogurt sauce!
