Crispy Baked Potato Squares

• INGREDIENTS:

3 large potatoes, peeled and grated

1 onion, finely chopped

1 carrot, peeled and grated

1 bell pepper, finely chopped

Olive oil, for sautéing

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Optional: grated cheese for topping

 

• INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Prepare Potatoes: Grate the potatoes and place them in cold water to prevent browning. After a few minutes, drain and press out any excess water using a clean towel or cheesecloth.

3. Sauté Vegetables: In a pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

4. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, sautéed vegetables, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.

5. Layer in a Baking Pan: Spread the mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray, making sure it’s about 1 cm thick.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on top.

7. Optional – Add Cheese: For a cheesy version, you can sprinkle grated cheese on top during the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Cut and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then cut into squares. Serve warm and enjoy!
