Baked Potato Casserole | Step by Step

Baked Potato Casserole

 

This one pot wholesome meal is adapted from the cook book that came along with the oven. Casseroles typically belonging to Western style of cooking, this is the first time I’m trying it out and was quite happy with the result. All the while I was searching for easy egg recipes this one was lying just right in front of my eyes begging to be made a note of.

 

 

Baked Potato Casserole

You’ll need:

Potatoes – 3

All Purpose Flour – 4 tbsp

Black pepper powder – 2 tsp

Eggs – 2

Milk – 1 cup

Cheese – 200 gms

Oregano / Mixed herbs – 1 tsp

Ice cold Butter – 50 gms

Salt – to taste

 

 

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 Degrees C. Grease a casserole dish and keep it ready.

 

Wash and peel the skin of the potatoes. Slice 1/4 inch thick size circles. Heat a pan with water. Let it come to a boil. Add the potato slices and let it cook for just 1 min. Switch off stove. Salt the water and close with a lid. Let it be for 3 min. Drain over a colander and pour running water over the potato slices to stop further cooking.

 

 

Grate the cheese and reserve 4 – 5 tbsp separately and keep it aside. Mix all purpose purpose flour, remaining cheese, black pepper powder, oregano together without any lumps and keep it aside. Beat eggs together. Add milk to this and keep it aside.

 

 

In the greased casserole dish arrange the potato slices at the bottom first. Sprinkle the flour and cheese mixture over the potatoes.

 

 

Chip the butter with a hard tipped knife and place the chunks at equal intervals. Again place the potato slices and repeat layering till the potato slices are over. You should  have used up the flour mixture too by now.

 

 

Pour the egg and milk mixture on top of it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved grated cheese on top. Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 40-50 min or till golden brown and firm.

 

 

Freshly baked golden brown potato casserole is ready to be serve hot.

 

 

Notes:

 

  • You can use any cheese. I used 2 Amul processed cheese cubes and the remaining were pizza cheese.

 

  • Adjust the quantity of cheese and seasoning according to your taste.

 

  • The next time I’m going to add some cauliflower and fresh peas and make it more wholesome.

 

  • The next time I would add some chilli flakes as the kids preferred more spicier taste.

 

  • Sprinkle tomato ketchup while serving for a tangy taste.

 

  • Oven timings may vary accordingly.
