Kavourmas with Potatoes
METHOD OF PREPARATION
Ingredients
3 large potatoes from Ano Vrontou
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
250g Kavourmas, crumbled or coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
2 teaspoons dried mint
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon hot chili flakes (boukouvo)
150g grated kefalotyri cheese
Instructions
Peel the potatoes, cut them into thin slices, and place them in cold water until ready to use. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat and sauté the onions until they soften. Remove the onions from the pan and set them aside. Grease a baking dish with butter and layer the potatoes so that each slice partially covers the previous one. Lightly salt and pepper the potatoes, then add a bit of onion on top. Sprinkle some kavourmas over the onions along with a little mint, paprika, chili flakes (boukouvo), and kefalotyri cheese. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Repeat the layers and finish with a layer of potatoes. Pour olive oil and a bit of melted butter on top and sprinkle with the remaining kefalotyri cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven at 200°C for 30-35 minutes.
