Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or a cast-iron skillet with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Step 2
Peel the russet potatoes and the onion. Using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, grate the potatoes and onion. Transfer the grated mixture to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. This step is crucial for achieving a crisp texture.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the grated potatoes and onion to the bowl and stir to combine.
Step 4
Sprinkle the flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder evenly over the potato mixture. Mix everything until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Pour the vegetable oil into the prepared baking dish or skillet, then add the potato mixture. Spread it out into an even layer and press down gently with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Step 7
Let the potatonik cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm as a side dish or main course!
