Potato Pie – Patatnik

Ingredients

3 – 4 medium-sized raw potatoes
1 egg
100 grams cheese, grated or chopped into small cubes
1 teaspoon dried mint
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
Butter (or margarine, vegetable oil, olive oil, as per your preference) for the pan

Directions

Wash, peel, and grate the potatoes. Combine with the rest of the ingredients. In a large pan, heat the oil and add a thin layer of the potato mixture. Brown on both sides, remove from heat, and keep warm while you cook the rest of the potato mixture. Serve hot.

My Notes

I squeezed the grated potatoes as they had lots of water, but perhaps this step isn’t necessary. I used paneer cheese as it’s what I had in the house. I used my cast iron pan on the stovetop but apparently this can also be oven-baked, which I may try next time. We had these with some plain yoghurt garnish.
