The origins of the recipe for potatoes with ribs can be traced back to culinary traditions that emphasize simple but flavorful ingredients. This dish reflects the desire to transform humble ingredients into great dishes that bring people together.

Ingredients
- 2 kg potatoes (choose firmer potatoes such as boiling or baking potatoes)
- 300 g raw ribs (opt for a moderately fatty rib for better flavor)
- 100 g cottage cheese (preferably matured, for an intense taste)
- 3 eggs
- 1 yogurt (preferably natural, without additives)
- 50 g butter (unsalted for a delicate flavor)
- Fresh parsley leaves (one bunch)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)

Step by step:

1. Preparing the potatoes
Start by washing the potatoes well to remove impurities. Then put them in a large pot of water and add a tablespoon of salt. Allow them to boil for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft enough to pierce with a fork, but not so soft that they fall apart. Once cooked, drain and let them cool slightly. Then cut them into slices.

2. Boiling eggs
In another pot, add the eggs and cover with cold water. Bring them to the boil and leave for 10-12 minutes. Once boiled, put them under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Peel them and cut into rounds.

3. Preparing ribs
Cut the ribs into small pieces and place in a pan over medium heat. Do not add oil, as it will release the necessary fat. Fry until crispy and golden brown, adding salt and pepper to taste. This will give the dish a rich flavor and delicious texture.

4. Assembling the dish
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Moisten a roasting tray with the fat left from the ribs, then start assembling:
- A layer of sliced potatoes
- Half of the fried ribs
- Egg rounds
- A portion of chopped parsley
- Repeat the process with another layer of potatoes, the remaining bacon, the yogurt and the second portion of parsley.

5. Finish the dish
On top, add the grated cheese, the remaining parsley and the pieces of butter. This layer will create a crispy golden crust.

6. Baking
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. The flavor that will fill your kitchen is simply irresistible!

Serving
After removing the tray from the oven, allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, alongside sour cucumbers or a fresh green salad for a contrast of textures and flavors.

Helpful hints and tips
- For a spicy touch, add a few slices of chilli pepper between the potato layers.
- Ingredient variations: Try substituting bacon or ham for the ribs, or add vegetables such as caramelized onions or mushrooms for an even more complex taste.
- Nutrition: This recipe is high in protein thanks to the bacon and eggs, and the potatoes provide healthy carbs. Cheese adds calcium and parsley is a good source of vitamins.

Frequently Asked Questions

It can be refrigerated in airtight containers for 2-3 days. Reheat it in the oven to restore its crispness.
