Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized Potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of butter, ensuring even coverage on all sides.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning and remove excess starch.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion or grate it for a finer texture, depending on your preference.

Step 4

Drain the grated potatoes thoroughly, pressing out as much excess water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, all-purpose flour, sour cream, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 6

Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Dot the top of the potato mixture with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, broken into small pieces, to help achieve a golden and crisp top layer during baking.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes or until the potatoes are set in the center, and the top is golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing into portions.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped dill before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream on the side or alongside your favorite main dish.
