GREEK POTATO CASSEROLE - GÖRÖG RAKOTT KRUMPLI

This is a fast dish and very tasty. The recipe is from a Hungarian cookbook and the flavours are surprisingly Greek. It originally called for feta only, but the taste was too sharp so I added some white cheddar and the improvement was significant. Don’t salt the meat or the potatoes, the feta provides sufficient salt to the dish.
