Better Than Pizza! Quick, Easy, and Delicious Grated Potato Bake

—

### **Instructions:**

1. **Prep the Potatoes:**
Grate the potatoes and squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. The drier, the crispier!

2. **Mix the Base:**
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with egg, cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional spices or binding agents. Stir until everything is well mixed.

3. **Pan-Fry or Bake:**
– *To bake:* Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment. Press the potato mixture evenly into the dish.
– *To pan-fry:* Heat oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread the mixture like a thick pancake and press down.

4. **Top It (Optional):**
Add extra cheese or toppings before baking/frying to really level it up.

5. **Bake/Fry Until Golden & Crispy:**
– Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden.
– If pan-frying, cook for about 5–7 minutes per side, flipping carefully, until both sides are browned.

6. **Slice and Serve:**
Let it cool for a few minutes, slice into squares or wedges, and serve hot!
