Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds.
- Peel the onions and slice them thinly.
- Cut the prosciutto into small strips.
Lightly grease a large baking dish or casserole dish with a bit of butter or cooking spray.
- 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.
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.
Pour half of the sour cream mixture over the layered potatoes, onions, and prosciutto in the baking dish.
- Add the remaining potato slices as the next layer.
- Follow with the remaining onion slices.
- Sprinkle the rest of the prosciutto strips on top.
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.
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.
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.
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.
