Potatoes with Plenty of Cheese

Something about the four types of cheese as preliminary information

1. The Manchego = is a hard cheese made from sheep’s milk (at least 50% fat) and probably the best-known among the Spanish cheeses.
2. The Nata Cantabria = is a creamy semi-hard cheese made from cow’s milk (at least 48% fat)
3. The Mahon = is a traditional semi-hard cheese made from cow’s milk (at least 45% fat in dry matter)
4. The Ardiona = is a cheese made from raw sheep’s milk and lightly smoked using traditional methods (at least 55% fat)

Build the “casserole” 🙂

1. First, the pre-cooked potatoes are cut into thin evenly slices (planed). Now take a baking dish and spread the garlic cloves over it. Then add the olive oil and spread a layer of potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish.
2. Now grate the different types of cheese finely. I distributed the Ardiona as the bottom layer of cheese. Then spread another layer of potatoes.
3. Cut half the sausage ring into fine strips and distribute half of the sausage over the potatoes. Then put 2 leek sticks cut into small pieces and place here. Now mix the rest of the cheese together and spread a layer on the pieces of leek. Now put the tomato pieces on top.
4. Now layer the remaining ingredients one after the other until everything is used up. Cover the top layer with the ham and a hint of cheese. The oven can now be switched on. 220 degrees O / U heat.
5. Now mix the stick mixture in a container. Against them, if necessary, add a dash of olive oil if it seems too firm. Let this mass flow over the layered ingredients.
6. At the very end, loosen the edge a little, put an aluminum foil on the prepared casserole and press the mixture on firmly .. Now spread some parsley or herbs of the season as a finish if you like and put it in the oven.
7. Cook in the oven, which has already been preheated to 220 degrees (O / U heat), for 50-60 minutes.
8. Possibly prepare a fresh salad and then enjoy.

Note at the end !!!

1. I made this casserole with Spanish cheeses, because they were so available and give a very Mediterranean taste. Therefore, only very limited spices are used. Of course, any other cheese can also be used for this purpose according to your own wishes.

Bon appetit and culinary greetings your Biggi ♥
