- 50 g cheddar cheese, grated
- 50 g mozzarella cheese, grated
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Fresh dill, chopped
- A pinch of onion powder
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Prepare the potatoes: Rinse the potatoes well with water to remove any dirt. Peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes or slices.
- Make the egg mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the 3 eggs, and add 2 tablespoons of flour, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.
- Mix the egg mixture with potatoes: Add the egg mixture to the prepared potatoes and mix everything together well to ensure the potatoes are coated evenly.
- Add parsley and onions: Stir in the chopped parsley and finely chopped onions to the potato mixture.
- Bake the potatoes: Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and transfer the potato mixture into the dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and slightly golden.
- Prepare the chicken filling: While the potatoes bake, heat a pan with a bit of vegetable oil. Sauté the onions, chopped peppers, and minced garlic until softened.
- Add the chicken and season: Add the shredded chicken fillet to the pan, and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well and cook for a few more minutes.
- Add the cheeses: Remove the potato bake from the oven and sprinkle the grated cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top of the potato mixture.
- Return to the oven: Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, minced garlic, a pinch of onion powder, and fresh dill. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the bake is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the creamy sauce over the top. Cut into 6 equal pieces and serve hot.
