Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30-35 minutes
Total time: 55-60 minutes
Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:
- 1 kg new potatoes
- 350 g crumbled sheep cheese
- 250 g sour cream
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 50 g grated cheese
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped (or dill, if preferred)
- 50 g butter (for greasing)
- 50 g breadcrumbs (for sprinkling)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the potatoes: Start by peeling the new potatoes, then wash them well under cold running water. You can slice them into rounds about 1 cm thick for even cooking. Place them in a pot with water and salt, then bring the water to a boil. Boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes until they become slightly soft but not fully cooked. Once they are nearly done, drain them and let them cool.

2. Preparing the cheese mixture: In a large bowl, add the crumbled sheep cheese, 100 g of sour cream, and one egg. Mix the ingredients well with a fork or spatula until you achieve a smooth composition. This mixture will give your dish an intense flavor and creamy consistency.

3. The sour cream mixture: In another bowl, beat the remaining 150 g of sour cream with the second egg and the finely chopped parsley. Make sure everything is well combined. This mixture will add a layer of moisture and flavor to your potatoes.

4. Assembling the dish: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with butter, then sprinkle breadcrumbs on the bottom and sides so that the potatoes do not stick. Place a first layer of potato rounds, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, then add the cheese mixture evenly on top. Next, continue with another layer of potatoes and pour the sour cream mixture on top. Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese for added flavor and a delicious crust.

5. Baking: Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top becomes golden and crispy. The aroma that will spread throughout the kitchen will make you eagerly await to savor this delicacy.

6. Serving: Once the dish is ready, let it cool slightly before cutting it into portions. You can serve it warm as a main dish or as a side with a juicy steak or a fresh salad.

Helpful tips:
- You can also use other types of cheese, such as cottage cheese or feta cheese, depending on your preferences.
- If you want to add an extra layer of flavor, you can incorporate some thin slices of onion or garlic between the layers of potatoes.
- This dish reheats very well, so you can prepare it a day in advance and enjoy it later.

Nutritional benefits:
New potatoes are an excellent source of carbohydrates, vitamins (especially vitamin C), and minerals, while cheese provides quality protein and calcium. This recipe is not only delicious but also offers the necessary nutrient intake.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use larger potatoes?
Yes, but make sure to boil them well and slice them thinly for even cooking.
2. How can I make the recipe spicier?
