Old-Dutch potato dish

Oudhollandse aardappelschotel

500 grams / 1lb2oz potatoes
6 eggs
1 tbsp butter
2 slices cooked ham, 150grams / 5 oz each
2 tbsp finely chopped chives
2 tsp finely chopped parsley
1 tsp mustard
1¼ deciliter / ½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp grated cheese
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/395ºF.

Peel the potatoes and boil them in a little water with a dash of salt, until they are almost done. Set them aside to cool. Thickly slice the potatoes.

Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, put under cold water and peel. Chop the eggs.

Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the potato slices golden brown on both sides.

Grease an ovenproof dish and layer in the potato slices. Cut the ham into strips. Mix the chopped eggs, chives, parsley, mustard and ham with the sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the mix over the potatoes, sprinkle the cheese over it and bake in the middle of the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Serve with a tossed salad with an oil and vinegar dressing. Eet smakelijk!
