Cheesy Baked Potato Squares

1. Prepare the Potatoes

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Grease a baking pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
  • Peel and grate the potatoes, then place them on a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure a crispy texture.

2. Make the Potato Mixture

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, eggs, and flour.
  • Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using). Mix until well combined.
  • Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down firmly with a spatula to create a compact layer.

3. Add the Cheese

  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the potato mixture.

4. Bake

  • Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are crispy.

5. Slice and Serve

  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Cut into squares and serve warm.
