Hungarian potato pekač or scalloped potatoes (in Hungarian: rakott krumpli or rakott burgonya) are a great alternative to a traditional baked potato. Sour cream, potatoes and hard-boiled eggs all baked together… few ingredients, big meal. A Hungarian culinary classic that is not difficult to prepare. The main actor here is the fantastic Hungarian smoked sausage!

The history of the Hungarian potato casserole

In Hungary, it was first mentioned in the 1840 edition of the “Hungarian National Cookbook” by master chef István Czifray. Casseroles can be found in the kitchens of almost every nation, just think of lasagna or moussaka. The potato casserole comes directly from French, with the honest name of “Tartiflette”, which contains camembert cheese, bacon, onions and potatoes with some white wine. However, it lacks eggs and sausage, so of course the Hungarian potato casserole is much better.

Madžarske enolončnice

Na Madžarskem so enolončnice zelo priljubljene. Gospodinje pripravijo to ali podobno jed iz skoraj vse zelenjave. Naj gre za stročji fižol, cvetačo, grah ali krompir, večplastno jed lahko pripravite iz česar koli. Praviloma v enolončnici ne smejo manjkati ragu iz mletega mesa, kisla smetana ali sir.

Tips for the preparation of potato casserole

– The potatoes should be a quality, which preferably does not fall apart after cooking

– The sausage should preferably be of good quality and smoked. If its fat content is very high, you can melt the rings in a pan over low heat before baking

– It is worth mixing the melted fat of the sausage with sour cream between the layers of potatoes, sausage and egg

– Begin the layering with the circled potatoes. After that, the sliced eggs and sausage are arranged in the desired quantity, proportion, and order

A vegetarian potato casserole

Because the French version of this casserole is made without meat, this creamy, filling version is also suitable for vegetarians. The sausage, eggs, and bacon are not included in this version. Ingredients include onions and garlic. This version is also quite tasty! (but we’ll stick with the traditional one). If you want a more restrained potato casserole that vegans can eat, substitute tofu for the cheese and use soy sour cream instead of sour cream.

Whichever version you choose, we wish you a very pleasant time while cooking! To help you, you can find our short film about making it at the bottom of the page. Enjoy your meal!
