Ingredients:

230g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
5 potatoes
1000g
2 onions
320g
3 slices prosciutto
50g
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds.
- Peel the onions and slice them thinly.
- Cut the prosciutto into small strips.
3. Prepare Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a large baking dish or casserole dish with a bit of butter or cooking spray.
4. Layer the Potatoes and Onions:
- Begin by layering half of the potato slices evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Add a layer of half the sliced onions over the potatoes.
- Sprinkle half of the prosciutto strips over the onions.
5. Mix Sour Cream and Milk:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the light sour cream and milk. Whisk together until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper as desired.
6. Add Sour Cream Mixture:
Pour half of the sour cream mixture over the layered potatoes, onions, and prosciutto in the baking dish.
7. Repeat Layers:
- Add the remaining potato slices as the next layer.
- Follow with the remaining onion slices.
- Sprinkle the rest of the prosciutto strips on top.
8. Top with Parmesan:
Pour the remaining sour cream mixture over the entire dish. Spread it evenly using a spatula if needed.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer.
9. Bake:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45 minutes covered.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
10. Serve:
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the layers and flavors to settle.
11. Garnish and Enjoy:
You can garnish with some fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy potato bake!

Tips:

- Select evenly-sized potatoes to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Thinly slice the potatoes and onions to promote even cooking and layering.

- If you prefer a richer dish, you can use full-fat sour cream and milk.

- Add a touch of garlic or herbs such as thyme or rosemary for enhanced flavor.

- For extra crispiness, broil the dish for a couple of minutes after baking.

- Let the potato bake rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

With its creamy texture and savory flavors, this creamy potato bake makes for a wonderfully satisfying dish. Whether you're serving it for a holiday feast or a weeknight dinner, it's sure to be a hit with family and friends. Enjoy the delicious combination of tender potatoes, crispy prosciutto, and creamy cheese that's both rich and comforting.
