Description

This grated potato bake is a perfect alternative to pizza, offering crispy edges and a soft, flavorful interior. Packed with grated potatoes, carrots, and cheese, it’s a simple yet satisfying dish for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 potatoes (grated)
  • 1 carrot (grated)
  • 1 leek or onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 glass of kefir or plain drinking yogurt
  • 200g (7 oz) wheat flour
  • 3 tomatoes (diced)
  • Cheese (grated, as desired)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Vegetables: Grate the potatoes and carrot. Finely chop the leek or onion and set everything aside.
  • Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated carrot, chopped leek or onion, eggs, kefir (or yogurt), and wheat flour. Stir everything well to form a thick batter.
  • Add Tomatoes: Dice the tomatoes and add them to the mixture, gently folding them in.
  • Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with oil and pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Top with Cheese: Grate your choice of cheese and sprinkle it generously over the top of the potato mixture.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy, and the center is cooked through.
  • Serve: Once done, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
  • Cheese Variations: Feel free to use any type of cheese you prefer. Cheddar, mozzarella, or even a bit of feta will work wonderfully.
  • Additions: For a protein boost, you can add cooked chicken, sausage, or even some beans to the mixture.
