Plain patatnik

Ingredients:

1 kg potatoes, sunflower oil, salt, mint, black pepper, savory

 

Method:

Peel the potatoes and grate on a grater. Next add the spices – salt, mint, savory and ground black pepper. Mix well and transfer to a baking dish with preheated sunflower oil. Cover with a lid and cook in a moderate oven for 15–20 min. When ready from the bottom, turn upside down and cook further on the other side after adding some more sunflower oil but without the lid this time so as to make sure the water evaporates. In our time, eggs, and grated yellow or white cheese are added to this version of patatnik.
