Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or cast iron skillet with oil or butter.

  2. Step 2

    Grate the 2 large potatoes (peel if desired) and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons flour, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  4. Step 4

    Press the mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are crispy.

  5. Step 5

    Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve warm.
