Varso Tower Feast

Ingredients

• 800 g waxy potatoes
• 2 red bell peppers
• 2 zucchinis
• 2 Polish smoked sausages (e.g., kielbasa, about 400 g total)
• 1 large onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 200 g grated cheese (mild)
• 200 ml sour cream
• 2 tbsp mustard
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 bunch chives
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Peel the potatoes and slice into 1 cm rounds. Boil for 8 minutes in salted water and drain.
3. Cut the peppers into rings, the zucchini into slices, and the sausage into diagonal pieces about 2 cm thick.
4. Chop the onion and finely chop the garlic. Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent.
5. Mix sour cream with mustard, salt, and pepper.
6. Line a baking tray with parchment. Build a tower in the center: start with potato, then zucchini, then pepper, then sausage. Repeat until all is used. Keep the tower upright by overlapping and stacking the slices at an angle.
7. Spoon the onion mixture and sour cream sauce over the tower. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
8. Bake for 25 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven, let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve with a spatula so the tower shape stays visible on the plate.

Serving notes

• Serve on a large platter so everyone can take a piece of the tower.
• Garnish with extra chives for a green skyline.
• Place the dish in the center of the table for a festive effect.
