French Potatoes
- 8 whole Russett Potatoes
- 4 whole Eggs
- 24 ounces, weight Sour Cream
- 2- 1/2 cups Sliced Canadian Bacon Or Country Ham
- 2- 1/2 cups Sliced Kielbasa Sausage
- 3/4 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
- Salt To Taste
- Butter To Grease Pan
- 1.
- Boil the unpeeled potatoes until fork tender.
- Depending on how large the potatoes are, this will take up to 35-45 minutes.
- Just keep an eye on them and test them with a fork to make sure they are fork tender before removing them from the heat.
- When done, drain off the water and place potatoes in the fridge until cool to touch.
- 2.
- While potatoes are cooling, hard-boil 4 eggs by boiling eggs in a pot of water for 1-2 minutes, then taking the pot off of the burner and continuing to cook the eggs in the hot water for 15-20 minutes.
- Or use your preferred method for hard boiling the eggs.
- 3.
- Preheat oven to 425 F. 4.
- When both potatoes and eggs are cooked and cooled, peel potatoes and eggs.
- Slice both potatoes and eggs into thin sections.
- You can use an egg slicer to go faster.
- 5.
- Grease the sides and bottom of a baking dish with butter (like a Pyrex casserole dish or Le Creuset dish).
- I use a 5.5 quart casserole to get 12 layers or a 9.5 by 13.5 Pyrex to get 6 layers.
- 6.
- Place a layer of potatoes at the bottom of the dish and sprinkle a pinch of salt across potatoes.
- 7.
- Spread about half of the sour cream across the potatoes in a thin layer.
- 8.
- Place a layer of either sausage, ham and/or eggs on top of sour cream.
- 9.
- Repeat steps 6 through 8, alternating layers of potatoes, sausage, ham and eggs.
- 10.
- After the final layer of potato, sprinkle salt on top and spread a thin layer of sour cream on top, using the rest of the sour cream.
- 11.
- Bake at 425 F for 15 minutes.
- 12.
- Take out of oven and scatter grated cheddar over the top layer of sour cream.
- 13.
- Bake another 35-45 minutes until top is golden brown and crisp.
- 14.
- Remove dish from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes and serve.
- Enjoy!
