- Salt: to taste
- Sour cream: 200ml (3/4 cup)
Instructions:
Prepare the Vegetables: Peel the potatoes and beets, then slice them thinly. Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
Make the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, horseradish, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Casserole: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish and line it with parchment paper. Layer half of the potatoes in the dish and sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheddar cheese. Add a layer of beet slices and sprinkle with another 1/3 of the cheese. Top with the remaining potatoes.
Add the Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture over the top layer of potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese. Cover the dish with foil.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
Enjoy this vibrant and comforting Potato and Beet Casserole as a delightful main dish or a hearty side!
