Note

If the casserole has been refrigerated before cooking, extend the baking time by 10-15 minutes to ensure it is heated through.

Traditional Hungarian Rakott Krumpli often uses smoked sausage (kolbász) for deeper flavor, but any savory sausage works well.

For a richer topping, you can mix the paprika into the sour cream before spreading it over the casserole.
