This recipe dates back to over 100 years. I made modifications and improved the recipe to be very tasty.
KARTOSHNIK - By "Uncle Bill"
Servings 8
3 large potatoes, Yukon Gold or Russet, peeled and diced
4 large eggs
1/4 cup whipping cream
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions (scallions)
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. Add grated Swiss and cheddar cheese, mix and let melt in the hot mashed potatoes. Add onions and mix to blend.
Preheat oven to 450 F.
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, add whipping cream and salt and whisk until well blended.
Add baking powder and stir to incorporate.
Add the mixture to the potatoes and mix until well blended.
Prepare a 9 inch square oven-proof casserole dish by rubbing inside with butter or spraying with a vegetable oil.
Pour potato mixture into prepared dish and level.
Bake in preheated 450 F oven for 35 minutes or until 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 about 3 inch squares.
When serving, sprinkle with melted butter, add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a sprinkling of chopped green onions.
NOTE: The Kartoshnik will rise when baking, but will settle down when it cools for 5 minutes.
