Potato cake with Falu sausage
Equipment
- Mandolin
- Oven form, large
- Cast iron pan
Ingredients
- 800 g potatoes
- 800 g Falukorv Swedish sausage, baloney, in 1 cm slices
- 300g white cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp curry madras powder
- ½ tbsp smoked red pepper
- 1 tbsp Sambal Oelek Optional
- 200 g cheese grated, of your choice/taste
- 5 dl heavy cream
- basil for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients. Set the oven to 225 C° / 435 F°. Grease a large ovenproof dish.
- Slice the onions and the cabbage thinly and put quickly into a hot pan for 1-2 minutes so they get some color. Then, put aside in a big bowl.Wash the potato thoroughly (I do not peel them) and slice them very thinly with a mandolin (preferred) or a sharp knife. Put potato slices into the bowl with the onion and cabbage. Mix and blend everything together and transfer the content to the greased oven form.
- Roughly grate the cheese ( save some for the topping) and mix it with the cream and all the spices. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes in the oven form.
- Put the form in the middle of the oven and bake the cake for about 30-40 minutes. When it got nice color and the potatoes are almost ready, take it out.
- Put the sausage slices on top of the gratin and spread some cheese over or between the sausage.
- Bake for another 10-12 minutes so that the sausage gets color. I used the oven grill function for a minute or two to get the last crisp on the slices. Garnish with chopped basil and serve with some green/tomato salad of your choice. Enjoy!Cuisine. It's What's For Dinner.
