KARTOSHNIK - (Potato Cake) image

The Kartoshnik looks like a cake but is eaten like a potato. Serve with your main meal. This recipe was given to me by my grandmother over 50 years ago. Since then, I have modified the recipe and it is even better than the original.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h

Yield 9 three inch squares, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
4 large eggs
1/4 cup whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup grated swiss cheese
3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 cup finely chopped green onion (, scallions)

Steps:

  • In a medium size saucepan, add potatoes, cover with water and bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat and cook until done about 15 minutes.
  • When done, drain and discard water.
  • Mash potatoes and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 450 F degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, add whipping cream and salt and whisk until well blended.
  • Add mashed potatoes and whisk until blended.
  • Add both grated cheeses and finely chopped onion and mix well.
  • Add baking powder and stir to incorporate.
  • Prepare a 9 inch square oven-proof casserole dish by spraying with a vegetable oil or rubbing inside with butter.
  • Pour potato mixture into prepared dish and level.
  • Bake in preheated 450 F oven for 35 minutes or until the top has a nice light golden color.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before cutting.
  • In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter.
  • Cut Kartoshnik into 3 inch squares.
  • When serving, sprinkle with melted butter, add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a sprinkling of chopped green onions.
  • This recipe doubles very well. However, use only 6 eggs and 4 teaspoons of baking powder. Baking time is still the same, 35 minutes at 450 F.

This kartoshnik recipe is amazing! The potato cake was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the filling was flavorful and cheesy. I will definitely be making this again.
