Ingredients

900 g Potatoes 7 Small-Medium
3 Large Eggs
1 Large Egg Yolk
150 g Smoked Sausage 4½oz (I use Chorizo)
300 ml Sour Cream 1½ Cups
1 teaspoon Salt (plus extra as required)
Black Pepper (a pinch for each layer)
Butter (for greasing)

Instructions

Bring a 20cm or 8" saucepan of well-salted water (I use 1 Teaspoon in a pan this size) to a boil and add the potatoes and the eggs.
Boil the eggs for 8-9 minutes before removing them, and continue cooking the potatoes for a total of 25 minutes.
Cool the eggs in cold water, peel them and set them aside.
When the potatoes are tender, remove them and allow them to cool for 10 minutes and then peel them.
Mix the egg yolk with the sour cream.
Cut the sausage, boiled eggs and potatoes into 3-4mm (⅛-¼") thick slices.
Grease a 20cm x 15cm (8"x6") baking dish with butter.
Layer up the dish, starting with potatoes, then sausage, then egg and then drizzle over 2-3 tablespoons of the sour cream mix.
Season this layer with salt and pepper and add another identical layer.
Finish with a layer of potatoes and then add the remaining sour cream.
Place in an oven and cook for 50-60 minutes at 180°C or 350°F. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
