I thought this recipe was great to work off of! I sliced the potatoes first, boiled them until very soft, already had the eggs cooked and cooled, fried up some pre-cooked ham, then cooked a small bit of onion & garlic & added that to my pot of sour cream and butter that was warming. I layered 1/2 the potatoes, half the eggs, half the bite sized ham pieces, half the sour cream mixture, then a small amount of sprinkled bacon pieces (store bought), season salt & paprika, & shredded cheese, & did the exact same layer again (leaving out the top layer of cheese). Cooked it for a half hour, then shredded a small layer of cheese on that, cooked it for 5-10 mins more & it looked beautiful and tasted great! It was very filling so a small serving would have been better. Even hubby thought it was really good. This took quite a bit of time to make despite having my eggs & potatoes pre-cooked, but was well worth it!

I love this! Everyone in my familyloves it. It's my favorite food. When I make it i use light Sour Cream, butter, and only egg whites. So its pretty "healthy". I love when you make the "lighter" version, you get the soupy stuff on the bottom. I love to dip rye bread in it.

I used margarine & light sour cream and it was a total flop. I was told not to try again with the full fat ingredients. I really wanted this to turn out and to like it. Use the full fat ingredients & give it the best chance possible.

I doubled the recipe and made it for an office pot luck. It was a smashing success. I altered it based on some of the other comments: used butter, instead of margarine; added sauteed chopped onion to each layer; added shredded colby jack cheese to each layer; and I served it with fresh, spicy salsa on the side. It was divine. It is a lot of work to make two pans, much peeling and slicing and layering, but it is absolutely worth it.

This is the first dish I ever made as a child growing up in Hungary. I also use kielbasa in the layers. I lightly salt each potato layer and then drizzle it with some of the butter and sourcream mixture. Then pour the left over sauce on top. This year it will be part of our Christmas morning breakfast. I'll prep the night before and bake while we're opening presents.

I am Hungarian and I used to make this dish quite often, in fact this is one of my favorite. Only couple of things I would like to mention: 1. The original recipe is with sausage. You cut in circles the sausage and you put these as a layer as well. If you do this, no need for seasoning, as it will give a really nice taste to it. 2. I never heard of anybody doing it with margarine or butter. You just pour the cream on it, and mixed with the sausage it will give a very nice flavor. I found it that economizing with the cream doesn't pay off as it would end up dry, but I guess it depends on the taste as well. 3. This part is not "standard" but I used to put couple of slice of bacons on the bottom just for the more taste.

I loved the taste, so did the family (except for the 11 year old).

I lived in Hungary and I loved this dish. I believe it is called Rakott Krumpli (stacked potato).

Pretty good. It was a big hit at the potluck. I added red onion and worchester sauce for a kick. *Be sure and melt the sour cream with the butter. If you just add melted butter to the s. cream you'll get a very puffy topping that wont sink down into the dish much.

Yummy! This is such an easy, inexpensive, and tasty recipe. I added some sliced kielbasa but don't think it was necessary. I also sprinkled the top layer with parsley for color and pepper. I really liked the seasoning salt flavor! The method for cooking the potatoes seems strangely complicated. I just poked the potatoes with a fork, microwaved them for 15-20 minutes and then sliced them. Leavin the skin on is not only easier, but retains the vitamins in the skins. I used low fat sour cream and margarine and next time might try to sub chicken broth for half the margarine and use fat free sour cream. Thanks for the delicious recipe! *Update* I've made this many times since, I make the sauce with pureed cottage cheese instead of sour cream (add 2 t lemon juice), 3/4 cup chicken broth and 1/4 cup light margarine. A bit healthier and still delicious!

I'm Hungarian and am always looking for ethnic dishes. I made this as a side for Easter and it was a big hit. I am going to make this again but will add bacon or ham and serve as a breakfast dish for brunch.

ok as Always I started before I read the whole instructions.. so i will tell you the first time I didnt have sour cream so I used creamcheese added that to the butter and onions I sauteed chopped some tomato and used raw egg oh yeah I added swiss cheese to the layer... I Didnt mean to make a mess out of this recip"correct" way and it was YUMMY too.....

This definitely has potential, but needs a little zip! Maybe some mustard?

I LOVE potatos! and I had a few eggs I needed to use, so I thought I would give this recipe a try. IT WAS SOO GOOD!! Next time I might add onion to the butter mixture but its not like it need it. Its really good just how the recipe is.

Great recipe! We couldn't believe there weren't more ingredients in it...tastes much more complex than it actually is.

Same Hungarian recipe my family uses, except, you have to use BUTTER.... try adding ham or Kolbas (Hungarian Sausage). It was always an Easter dish growning up, but now its a staple..
