Ingredients
- 1.5 kilogram (3.4 pounds) potatoes
- 60 grams (4 tablespoons) butter
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 4 medium-sized eggs lightly beaten
- 250 grams (1¼ cups) grated Kefalotyri cheese or Pecorino, Parmesan, or Gruyere cheese
- 60 ml (¼ cup) milk
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- olive oil for greasing the pan + sauteeing the onions
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs or cornmeal, or almondmeal for gluten-free
- salt + pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes. Rinse well from dirt and place in a cooking pot. Cover with water and season with salt. Simmer until fork tender. Then allow them to cool enough to handle and peel their skins.
- Preheat oven to 185°C / 365°F.
- Mash the potatoes using either a fork or a potato masher. Add the butter and turn them into a chunky mash we don't want it to be smooth.
- Saute the onions. Heat a splash of olive oil in a frying pan or skillet and saute the onions. Transfer to the bowl with the mashed potatoes.
- Mix in the cheese, beaten eggs, oregano, parsley, milk, and season with ground pepper.
- Prepare the pan (or baking dish). Brush a 9 x13-inch (33 x 23cm) pan with olive oil and sprinkle the breadcrumbs or cornmeal to coat.
- Transfer the mixture to the pan. Smoothen the top with a spoon and brush with olive oil. Decorate by making lines with a fork or leave it as is.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the pie is firm and gets a nice color on top.
- Allow to cool for 30 minutes then cut and serve!
