This chicken and grated potato bake is a simple one-dish dinner for days when you don't feel like cooking for long after work. A layer of coarsely grated potatoes goes on the bottom of a greased glass dish, topped with a mixture of diced chicken, sour cream, melted butter and finely chopped onion. A second layer of potatoes goes on top, along with the grated cheese. The dish bakes for 45 minutes at 175 °C (350 °F), until the surface turns golden.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Grease a glass baking dish with butter or lard. Spread one layer of coarsely grated potatoes over the bottom and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cut the chicken into pieces and mix it in another bowl with the sour cream, melted butter and finely chopped onion. Pour the mixture over the potatoes.
Top with another layer of potatoes, also seasoned with salt and pepper, and sprinkle everything with the grated cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 175 °C (350 °F) for 45 minutes.

Tip: Instead of the large onion you can use one leek cut into thin rings – it softens in the sour cream and the bake will taste milder.
