Ingredients:
6 large potatoes
12 hard-boiled eggs, sliced into rounds
120g butter, grated
500ml sour cream
12 slices of bacon
120g Cheddar (or Swiss) cheese, grated
450g sausages or Frankfurters, sliced
1 tsp salt
freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Method:
Bring a pan of water to a boil, scrub the potatoes then boil in their skins for about 20 minutes, or until just tender. Remove the potatoes from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside until they can be handled then carefully peel them and slice them into rounds.
In an oven-proof baking dish place a layer of potatoes on the base then sprinkle a little of the grated cheese on top followed by a little salt then a layer of boiled eggs. Season the eggs then add a layer of sour cream followed by a layer of sausages. Repeat the layering process one more time then top everything with a layer of potatoes. Cover with a layer of grated cheese then arrange the bacon slices in a criss-cross pattern on top of everything.
Transfer the dish to an oven pre-heated to 190°C and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the cheese has melted and is golden. Serve hot.
