Method

1
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 20-25 minutes until just tender, then drain and allow to cool slightly before peeling and slicing into rounds about 5mm thick.

While the potatoes cook, place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool before peeling and slicing into rounds.

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top layer and place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through and bubbling.
