Equipment
- Casserole Dish
- Wooden spoon
- Shot glass
- Toothpick
- Wooden Skewers
Ingredients
- 4.5 lbs potatoes peeled & boiled
- 1/3 cup corn starch
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 3 slices ham
- 1.5 cups shredded cheese
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp chopped dill
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tsp flour
- 6 hot dogs
- 1.5 cups shredded cheese
- 6 eggs
Instructions
- Make a shallow, long cut in the skin of the potatoes and boil them for about 30 minutes, then rinse them with cold water – this makes it easier to remove the skin.
- Mash the peeled potatoes and add the butter, corn starch, salt, and pepper, mixing everything until combined. Spoon half of the mash into a casserole dish.
- Put 3 slices of ham on top and sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
- Add the other half of the mashed potatoes to the dish and smooth it out. With a wooden spoon, draw a few lines in the mash about 1 inch deep, creating 6 rectangles of equal size.
- Use a shot glass to press 6 wells into the potato mixture.
- Place 2 wooden skewers next to each other and a hot dog between them, cut the hot dog up as far as the knife goes and then shape it into a circle. Use a toothpick to secure the ends of the hot dog.
- Repeat the same process with the other hot dogs and place them around the wells in the mashed potatoes.
- Mix the heavy cream, chopped dill, salt, pepper, and flour, then pour the mixture into the grooves in the potato mass.
- Crack an egg into each hot dog circle and sprinkle more shredded cheese all around before sliding the casserole dish into a preheated oven set to 350°F for 25 minutes.
