Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 large yellow onion, grated
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil, divided
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pour 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil into a 9×13 inch baking dish and place it in the oven to heat.
- In a large bowl, combine grated potatoes and grated onion. Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.
- Return the potato mixture to the bowl and add eggs, all purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and the remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Mix well to combine.
- Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and spread the potato mixture evenly into the dish.
- Smooth the top and bake for 60 to 70 minutes until deeply golden brown and crisp on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly for best texture.
- Preheating the oil helps create a crisp bottom.
- Reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
