If you are looking for a simple and quick recipe for a versatile dish, potato pudding is the perfect choice. This unpretentious dish can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side for roasts. Here’s how to prepare a potato pudding that will impress anyone!

Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes
- 4 eggs
- 200 g telemea cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 100 g grated cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Oil, for greasing the pan

Preparation:

1. Boiling the potatoes: Start by washing the potatoes well under cold running water to remove any impurities. Place them in a pot with water and a little salt, and let them boil for about 30 minutes. It is important that they are well cooked but not so much that they crumble.

2. Cooling and peeling: After 30 minutes, remove the potatoes from the water and let them cool slightly in cold water. Once they have cooled enough, peel them. This step is essential for achieving a fine texture.

3. Grating: Use a large grater to grate the potatoes. This is a trick that will help mix the ingredients better and give the pudding a uniform texture.

4. Mixing ingredients: In a large bowl, add the grated potatoes, grated telemea cheese (you can also use feta cheese for a stronger flavor), sour cream, and 3 eggs. Mix everything well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Make sure all ingredients are well integrated, and add salt to taste.

5. Preparing the pan: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, grease a baking dish with a little oil to prevent the pudding from sticking. It is recommended to use a medium-sized dish to achieve an even thickness.

6. Assembling the pudding: Pour the potato mixture into the prepared dish and level the surface with a spatula. Beat one egg with a little salt and pour it evenly over the potato mixture. This will create a golden and delicious crust.

7. Adding cheese: Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the pudding. This will melt and form a crunchy crust, adding flavor to the dish.

8. Baking: Place the dish in the preheated oven and let the potato pudding bake for 35 minutes or until it becomes nicely browned on top. It is important not to open the oven door in the first 25 minutes to avoid disrupting the baking process.

9. Serving: Once the pudding is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before cutting. It is delicious both warm and at room temperature and can be served alongside a fresh salad or as a side for roasts.

Personal suggestion: You can add herbs such as dill or parsley to the potato mixture for extra flavor. Also, for a vegetarian option, replace the telemea cheese with a vegan cheese.

Enjoy this potato pudding, a hearty, easy-to-make dish full of flavors!
