Ingredients

• 4 large Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
• 1 large Yellow Onion
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or casserole dish.

Step 2

Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step helps ensure the potatonik won't be too watery.

Step 3

Peel and grate the onion, and combine it with the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add them to the potato-onion mixture. Stir to combine well.

Step 5

Sift the flour and baking powder together, then stir it into the potato mixture a little at a time. Add the salt, pepper, and vegetable oil, and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the potatonik cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm as a side dish or on its own!
