Ingredients:
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup flour (all-purpose)
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional, cheddar works well)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare Potatoes and Onions: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and chopped onions. Squeeze out excess moisture from the potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Mix the Batter: Add the eggs, flour, grated cheese (if using), baking powder, thyme, salt, and pepper to the potato-onion mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Cook the Cake: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Pour the potato mixture into the pan, pressing it down into an even layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until golden brown.
- Bake: Transfer the cake to the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden and crisp.
- Serve: Let the cake cool slightly before slicing and serving. You can serve it as a savory snack, side dish, or light meal.
