Keto Hungarian Potato Casserole (Rakott Krumpli)

Layered Potato Casserole

Rakott Krumpli is a Hungarian Potato Casserole dish. But potatoes are not Keto. Though I’ve mentioned it so many times it might kick a few of you out of Ketosis. But back to business. Cauliflower is the new potato. I’ve been saying this for a while now. This Hungarian classic is layered potatoes, sausage, eggs and sour cream. It’s a pretty basic dish. In my version we’re going to use cauliflower and we’re also going to throw in a bit of cheese for good measure. As I’ve noticed, all the Hungarian recipes I’ve checked each has a slight variation on how they do things. So I’m just saying that I’ve done what I thought would be the best version to achieve the best taste. Anyway enjoy!

Bring out the flavour

Now that I’ve made the dish, tasted it and had time to reflect on it. I think there are a few tweaks that I would make to take it to the next level. For starters I’d probably use a mix of sour cream and heavy cream and I’d add some cheese to that mixture. I’d also like to throw in some herbs or at least something like a bit of nutmeg powder to give it some more depth of flavour. I’d also use bacon and crisp that up first, then the chorizo. I’d sprinkle the bacon on top after chopping it.

Of course you can stick to the original if you prefer or you can tweak it to suit your taste buds. It’s completely up to you.

  1. Thank you for showing me Hungarian food! So excited to try this! And than you for “listening” to the haters (or not!) Its so hard to find interesting keto recipes– which is why I keep coming back here.

  2. Made this tonight, this has been approved by non-keto friends, the only downside I saw was that the sour cream liquefied a lot in the oven, and that may have been caused by the fact that it didn’t have any gums or carragheenan. 🙂 Looking forward to your other Hungarian recipes!!

  3. I’m trying this tonight. It’s cooking up as we speak. I read your advice about adding some spice, so I added some thyme, marjoram, parmasan and Romano cheese, and lemon pepper. I also am Frying some onions with the sausage. Hope it tastes as good as it smells

  4. I pre-cook the potatoes with soup vegetable powder (carrot, onion,…) , salt and bay leaf. I always put cheese in the middle of rakott krumpli as well, bake it covered first, about an hour, then sprinkle the top with cheese and fry it a little.
    I will try your couliflower version 🙂
    Greetings from Hungary, I love your site.
