HUNGARIAN POTATOES
This recipe is an adoptee from the RecipeZaar account. It's a nice, simple potato casserole; very satisfying. Next time I make it, I will toss the potatoes with most of the butter, rather than leaving the butter in the bottom of the casserole. I will also drizzle the top with some butter (the breadcrumbs don't seem to brown, otherwise). I hope you like it!

HUNGARIAN EGG AND POTATO CASSEROLE
This is one of a number of Kramer family Hungarian recipes that Magda had when she was growing up and which the Mutch family has since adopted. Not wanting to exactly duplicate Magda's version, this is my version. It must be good since Magda asked for seconds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add unpeeled potatoes and cook until tender but still firm - about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, peel and cut in 1/4 inch slices.
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let stand in hot water for about 15 minutes. Remove from water, cool, peel and slice.
- In another saucepan sauté onion in oil until translucent and add margarine, sour cream, salt and pepper.
- In a casserole dish layer potatoes and eggs, pouring a small amount of the sauce on each layer. Ensure that the first and last layers are potatoes.
- Sprinkle cheese on top of the casserole followed by breadcrumbs and paprika.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: For the best results, choose potatoes that are firm and starchy, such as Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. These potatoes will hold their shape well during baking and will become fluffy and tender on the inside.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: To ensure that the potatoes cook evenly, cut them into uniform-sized pieces. This will help them cook at the same rate and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
- Season the potatoes well: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance their flavor and make them more enjoyable to eat.
- Use a well-seasoned baking dish: A well-seasoned baking dish will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking and will also help to evenly distribute the heat. If you don't have a well-seasoned baking dish, you can grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes are done baking when they are tender when pierced with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potato pieces and the temperature of the oven, so be sure to check them frequently.
Conclusion:
Hungarian potato bake is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of hearty potatoes, flavorful sausage, and creamy sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
