Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 5 minutes
Number of servings: 6

Ingredients

- 6 medium potatoes (about 1 kg)
- 130 g bacon
- 100 g ham salami
- 100 g grated cheese (preferably well-aged cheese for a more intense flavor)
- 80 ml sour cream
- 3 boiled eggs (medium size)
- 1 egg yolk
- 25 g butter (for greasing the pan)
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- Salt and spices to taste (suggestions: basil, thyme, black pepper)

Step by Step

1. Preparing the Potatoes: Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into cubes. Boil them in a large pot of water with a teaspoon of salt. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they become soft. Test with a fork; if it pierces easily, they are ready.

2. Creating the Paste: While the potatoes are boiling, take the bacon and salami and place them in a food processor. Blend at high speed until you achieve a smooth paste. This mixture will add rich flavor and depth to your drobocartofin.

3. Mashing the Potatoes: After boiling, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Then, use a fork or potato masher to mash them. Add the butter, spices, and flour, mixing well until you achieve a homogeneous composition, slightly softer than dough but firm enough to shape.

4. Preparing the Pan: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a loaf pan with butter and dust it with flour to prevent sticking.

5. Assembling the Drobocartofin: Place a first layer of potato mixture in the pan, ensuring it is even. Then add the bacon and salami paste, followed by the halved boiled eggs and half of the grated cheese. Cover with the remaining potato mixture, smoothing the surface.

6. Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the surface turns golden.

7. Preparing the Sour Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with the sour cream and the remaining cheese. Once the drobocartofin is golden, remove it from the oven and pour the sour cream sauce on top. Return it to the oven for another 5-8 minutes to form a delicious crust.

8. Cooling and Serving: Allow the drobocartofin to cool for about 40 minutes before cutting it. This is an important step as it allows the ingredients to settle and prevents the drobocartofin from becoming too soft in the middle. Serve it alongside fresh salads or pickles for a contrast of textures and flavors.

Practical Tips

- Choosing Potatoes: Opt for "waxy" or "low-starch" potatoes for a better texture. Red potatoes or new potatoes are also a good choice.
- Vegetarian Option: If you want a vegetarian option, you can replace the bacon and salami with sautéed vegetables (e.g., mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers).
- Spices: Play around with spices! Add fresh dill or garlic for an extra flavor boost.
- Storage: The drobocartofin keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days, and the taste gets even better the next day.
