Ingredients

• 1000 grams Potatoes
• 500 grams Sausages (pork or chicken)
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 medium Carrots
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 500 milliliters Chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 50 grams Grated cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 3-4mm rounds. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces, and finely chop the onion, garlic, and carrots.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the sausage pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter to the same pan. Stir in the onions, garlic, and carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden.

Step 6

Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and thyme leaves stripped from their stems. Add the bay leaves for extra flavor.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 9

In the skillet, arrange half the potato slices in an even layer over the vegetable mixture. Scatter the browned sausage pieces over the potatoes, then layer the remaining potato slices on top.

Step 10

Cover the skillet tightly with aluminum foil or a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 40 minutes.

Step 11

After 40 minutes, remove the foil/lid. For an optional golden and cheesy topping, sprinkle grated cheese over the top layer of potatoes before returning the dish to the oven.

Step 12

Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 13

Remove the hotpot from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Discard the bay leaves before plating.

Step 14

Serve hot as a standalone dish or with a side of crusty bread.
