Ingredients
Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s gather our ingredients. You’ll need:
- 4 to 5 potatoes
- 1 carrot (peeled and grated)
- Leek or onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 eggs
- 1 glass of plain yogurt
- 7 oz of wheat flour
- 3 tomatoes (sliced)
- Cheese (shredded)
- Parsley (chopped)
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s start cooking!
Instructions
Step 1: Prepping the Potatoes
- Peel the potatoes and grate them finely. Afterward, place them in a bowl and cover them with cold water. Allow them to rest for about 15 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch.
Step 2: Sautéing the Leeks
- In a large frying pan, heat some olive oil and add the thinly sliced leeks (or onions). Sauté them for about 2 to 3 minutes until they turn slightly brown.
Step 3: Cooking the Potatoes
- Now, add the grated potatoes to the pan with the sautéed leeks. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the potatoes are well-cooked and seasoned with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat.
Step 4: Mixing Potatoes and Vegetables
- Drain the grated potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the sautéed leeks (or onions) to the bowl and mix thoroughly.
Step 5: Preparing the Batter
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 cup of plain yogurt, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the wheat flour while stirring continuously. A touch of olive oil can also be added for flavor.
Step 6: Combining Ingredients
- Pour the prepared batter into the potato and sautéed vegetable mixture. Mix until you achieve a well-combined, smooth consistency.
Step 7: Baking
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil. Transfer the potato mixture to the tray, spreading it evenly.
