Ingredients:
- 3 large potatoes (400 grams), peeled
- Cold water
- 3 large eggs
- Dried marjoram, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Butter (for greasing)
- 5 slices of cheese (e.g., Cheddar or Swiss)
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes: Grate the potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Drain thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
- Cook the First Layer: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil. Pour half of the grated potatoes into the pan, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and pour the beaten eggs over them. Cover with a lid and cook for about 7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the eggs are set.
- Add the Remaining Potatoes: Add the remaining grated potatoes on top of the cooked layer, seasoning with another pinch of salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, covered, until the potatoes are cooked through and golden brown.
- Top with Cheese: Place the slices of cheese on top of the potato mixture. Cover with a lid and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Carefully turn the casserole onto a plate, using a spatula to help if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
Tips:
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- For added flavor, you can mix herbs like marjoram into the potato mixture before cooking.
- Enjoy this Potato and Cheese Casserole as a satisfying main dish or a hearty side. It’s the perfect blend of crispy potatoes and gooey cheese—comfort food at its finest!
