Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you bake layered potatoes with meat in the oven? Gather your ingredients. Besides pork, you can use any meat or poultry. The cheese can be any kind too — hard, semi-hard, or soft.
Step 2:

Wash, peel, and slice the potatoes into thin rounds.
Step 3:

Rinse the meat and trim away any membranes and sinew. Cut it into thin slices.
Step 4:

Grate the cheese on the large holes of a box grater.
Step 5:

Grease the baking dish with vegetable oil and spread out some of the potatoes in a thin layer.
Step 6:

Lightly sprinkle the potatoes with paprika, pepper, and salt, then spread with a little mayonnaise.
Step 7:

Arrange the pork slices on top. Sprinkle them with paprika, salt, and pepper too.
Step 8:

Spread with mayonnaise again.
Step 9:

For the top layer, spread out the remaining potatoes and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 10:

Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top. Bake the meat and potatoes for 40–45 minutes in the oven at 350°F (180°C). If the cheese starts browning too much before the dish is done, cover the dish with foil. Serve the dish hot, before it cools. Enjoy!

Beef will need to bake a little longer. I'd cover the dish with foil from the start — the meat cooks faster that way, the dish won't dry out, and the cheese won't burn. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and keep baking until the cheese turns a nice golden brown.
Along with the meat and potatoes, you can add finely chopped prunes for a fruity tang. Mix them in with the pork or add them as a separate layer over the meat. It's especially good if you marinate the meat in onion and spices first, then lay it in a single layer over the potatoes. You can also skip the layering, mix everything together, and spread it into the dish — though in that case it's better to cube the potatoes rather than slice them.
Root vegetables are best scrubbed with a brush or firm sponge under running water.
Everyone's palate is different when it comes to salt, sweetness, heat, and tang, so always add spices and seasonings to your own taste! If you're using a seasoning for the first time, remember that some are easy to overdo (chili pepper, for one).
Any oven-safe dish works for this recipe. A silicone mold doesn't need greasing, but it's best to lightly oil a metal, ceramic, or glass dish so the bake doesn't stick.
