A casserole is a perfect dish for the working people - it can be easily reheated, so if you prepare one ahead of time, it will be waiting to comfort you after a busy day at work. I took one of my mum's classics and spiced it up with some of the European's finest PGI products (Protected Geographical Indication).
You'll need:
500g waxy, low-starch potatoes
1 big cooked sausage (I used saucisses de Montébeliard)
75g of Danish blue cheese
150g of mature vintage cheddar
1 medium onion
sweet paprika
chili powder
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices. Pre-cook in salted water making sure they are not completely cooked.
2. In the meantime, chop the onion, cut the sausage and proceed to fry them together.
4. Assemble the elements of the casserole in a casserole dish. start with a layer of potatoes at the bottom, season them with sweet and spicy paprika, add half of the sausage/onion mix and add some crumbled blue cheese. Repeat the process again. Leave some potatoes for the final layer. Cover the top layer of potatoes with cheddar cheese.
5. Put the casserole in the oven pre-heated to 200 degrees for around 15 minutes. The oil from sausage/onion frying should suffice to make sure the dish does not dry up, but if you're worried you can add some more before putting the lid on the casserole
.
Bon appétit!
