🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Cook and Prepare the Potatoes & Eggs
- Boil the eggs in salted water for 10–12 minutes until hard-boiled.
- In a separate pot, boil the potatoes with a tablespoon of salt until they’re fork-tender.
- Rinse the eggs and potatoes under cold water to make them easier to peel.
- Once cooled, peel and slice both the eggs and potatoes into rounds.
2️⃣ Sauté the Onion, Ham, and Sausage
- Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and garlic, and season with a pinch of salt. Cook until softened.
- Stir in the diced ham and cook until slightly browned.
- Add the sausage slices and cook everything until golden and flavorful. Season with pepper.
3️⃣ Layer the Ingredients
- In a large skillet, start with a layer of sliced potatoes.
- Add a layer of sliced eggs on top.
- Spread the sautéed onions, ham, and sausage evenly over the layers.
- Drizzle a layer of sour cream for extra creaminess.
- Repeat the layers and finish with a generous topping of grated cheese.
- For extra cheese, sprinkle some between the layers too!
4️⃣ Cook on the Stovetop or in the Oven
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat until the cheese is melted.
- If you prefer a crispy, golden top, place the skillet in the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
5️⃣ Serve and Enjoy!
-
Serve this dish hot and fresh. It may not hold its shape in neat slices immediately, but if you want cleaner portions, let it cool slightly before cutting.

🔎 Pro Tips & Variations
🔹 Sausage options? Use any sausage you love—chicken sausage, Italian sausage, or spicy sausage for extra flavor.
🔹 Salt wisely! Ham and sausage are already salty, so be careful with the salt when adding extra.
🔹 Make it lighter? Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt or use lighter cheese for fewer calories.
🔹 Want more veggies? Add sliced bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini for an extra pop of flavor.
🔹 For extra crunch – Top with crispy fried onions or crushed potato chips!
