Ingredients

3 lb gold potatoes, scrubbed
8 eggs (7 to hard-boil, 1 yolk for the topping)
10 oz smoked kielbasa, thinly sliced
3 cups sour cream
2 tbsp butter, for the dish and top
dill pickles, to serve

From your pantry: 1½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, 1 tsp sweet paprika.

Instructions

Cover the potatoes with cold salted water, bring to a boil and simmer until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add 7 eggs to the pot for the last 10 minutes. Drain, cool the eggs in cold water and let the potatoes cool enough to handle.
Heat the oven to 350°F and butter a 9x13 baking dish. Slice the potatoes (peeled or not) and eggs about ¼ inch thick. Whisk the sour cream with the remaining egg yolk.
Layer a third of the potatoes in the dish, season with salt and pepper, then add half the sausage, half the eggs and a few spoonfuls of the sour cream. Repeat, then finish with the last of the potatoes.
Spread the remaining sour cream over the top, dot with butter and dust with paprika.
Bake until bubbling and golden on top, 45 to 50 minutes. Rest 10 minutes before cutting and serve with pickles.

Tip: Hungarian Csabai or Gyulai sausage is the real thing; any good smoked kielbasa stands in well. For crisp edges, scatter a little diced bacon between the layers.
