Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes (about 25 ounces / 750 grams)
- 1 carrot
- 5 ounces (150 grams) green onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 red peppers
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup (250 milliliters) water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and grate the potatoes and carrot into a large mixing bowl. Chop the green onions and red peppers, then add them to the bowl.
2. Make the Batter: Add the eggs, water, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined into a thick, even batter.
3. Bake the Potato Mixture: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish and pour in the potato mixture, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
4. Serve and Enjoy: Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm as a main dish, side, or snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Drain excess moisture from the grated potatoes before mixing to prevent sogginess.
- Add cheese for a richer flavor—mozzarella, cheddar, or feta all work well.
- Customize with spices like paprika, garlic powder, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to maintain crispiness.
- Freeze for later: Allow to cool completely, then freeze slices in an airtight container. Reheat at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes.
