Instructions
- Heat the oven to a scorching 200°C, preparing a ceramic baking dish for the potato ensemble.
- Arrange potato slices in a single layer, coating them generously with a vibrant blend of seasonings and olive oil, ensuring each slice glistens with flavor.
- Roast the seasoned potatoes for 20 minutes until they transform into golden-edged, tender morsels.
- Craft a silky custard by whisking eggs and sour cream together, infusing the mixture with delicate chives and a whisper of seasoning.
- Reduce oven temperature to 180°C, signaling the next culinary phase.
- Lavish the roasted potatoes with the creamy egg mixture, then artfully distribute Jägerwurst slices and juicy cherry tomatoes across the surface.
- Blanket the dish with a generous layer of grated cheese, melting into a bubbling, golden landscape.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the eggs to set and the cheese to achieve a perfect bronzed finish.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley as a final flourish before presenting this rustic, comforting dish to eager diners.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture and even cooking.
- Pat potatoes dry before seasoning to help them crisp up and prevent excess moisture during baking.
- For a vegetarian version, replace Jägerwurst with roasted vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
- Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt to reduce fat content while maintaining a creamy consistency.
