Ingredients:
7 large potatoes, peeled and coarsley grated
1 medium onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or to taste) or 2 teaspoons white salt ( or to taste)
1 -2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper ( I use lots!)
6 tablespoons oil, divided ( not olive oil)
Directions:
Set oven to 400 degrees F ( (bottom oven rack).
Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, then pour about 3 tablespoons oil into bottom of the baking dish.
.Squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded potatoes with hands, and place into a large bowl, then add in chopped onion.
Add in remaining ingredients with 3 tablespoons remaining oil; mix well to combine (I use my hands for mixing).
Adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
The next step is only optional it will speed up cooking time and create a crispy bottom and sides.
Place the baking dish with the oil in the oven and heat the oil for about 6-8 minutes.
Carefully spread the potato mixture in the baking dish (careful, the dish will be hot!) .
This step is only optional otherwise just pour the potato mixture into the oiled cold baking dish.
Bake uncovered for about 1-1/4 hours, or until nicely browned on top (the longer that you bake it the more crispier it will be, so bake until it is to desired crispness).
