How to Make Gauranga Potatoes

  1. Peel and thinly slice 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes.
  2. Boil potato slices in a 5-quart saucepan with 4 cups lightly salted water until tender-crisp (about 10-12 minutes).
  3. Drain potatoes in a colander and set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil to catch any drips and place it on the lower oven rack.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 teaspoon asafetida and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric. Cook for 1 minute.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup sour cream, 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water. Whisk until smooth.
  8. Remove from heat and gently fold in the cooked potatoes.
  9. Pour the potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon paprika.
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley before serving.
  12. Serve hot as a side dish or light meal.
