Ah! You’re probably thinking of something like a potato and egg casserole or potato pancakes (also called latkes or rösti in some versions). I can give a super simple recipe that’s flexible and easy for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy dinner.
Simple Potato and Egg Casserole
Ingredients
- 3–4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced or shredded
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tsp paprika or herbs (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish with butter or oil.
- Prepare potatoes
- Slice thinly or shred. If you shred, squeeze out extra water for crispiness.
- Layer or mix
- Option 1: Mix potatoes, onion, eggs, milk, and seasonings together.
- Option 2: Layer potatoes in the dish, pour beaten eggs and milk on top.
- Bake
- 35–40 minutes, until eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
- Serve
- Cut into squares and enjoy warm, optionally with ketchup, sour cream, or herbs.
Alternative: Potato Pancakes (Quick Skillet Version)
- Mix shredded potatoes, 1 egg, salt, and pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet.
- Form small patties and fry until golden and crisp on both sides (~3–4 min per side).
- Serve hot.
If you want, I can give a version that’s ultra-creamy, cheesy, and basically foolproof—it’s kind of like a loaded potato-egg breakfast casserole that everyone loves.
Do you want me to share that one?
